Introduction
Ketoza Shampoo is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need, as it will not clear your condition faster and may only increase the side effects. Make sure not to leave it on the scalp for more than 5 minutes. If it gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse it with water. Ketoza Shampoo is usually safe, however, it may cause burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and self-limiting. Serious side effects are rare. It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way Ketoza Shampoo works, but talk to your doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine for dandruff. The medicine is not recommended for pregnant women. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using Ketoza Shampoo.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of allergies or are allergic to any medications before use.
How long should I leave Ketoza Shampoo on my scalp?
Do not keep Ketoza Shampoo on your scalp for longer than the recommended time, as this may cause irritation or burning sensation.
Will I go bald if I have dandruff?
Dandruff itself does not lead to baldness. However, severe dandruff and excessive scratching can result in hair loss due to the trauma of scratching, but hair will eventually grow back. If you experience significant hair loss after using Ketoza Shampoo, consult your doctor.

Ketoza Shampoo focuses on controlling dandruff at the scalp level, not directly addressing hair health. You can use it as a scalp treatment for up to 10 minutes before rinsing and following with regular shampoo and conditioner.
