Introduction
Ketromax 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. Ketromax 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 Ketromax 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 Ketromax Shampoo.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Ketromax Shampoo regularly?
The duration for using Ketromax Shampoo is as advised by your doctor. Apply to the scalp and leave for 1-2 minutes, then massage and rinse thoroughly.
Can Ketromax Shampoo cause hair fall?
Ketromox shampoo does not cause hair loss. Regular use can reduce dandruff, which in turn may minimize hair loss by reducing scalp irritation.
What should I inform my doctor before using Ketromax Shampoo?
Inform your doctor if you have allergies or are allergic to any medication before using Ketromax Shampoo.
How long should I leave Ketromax Shampoo on my scalp?
Do not leave Ketromax Shampoo in contact with your hair or skin for more than the recommended duration. This may result in irritation, burning, or other adverse effects.
Will I go bald if I have dandruff?
Dandruff itself does not cause hair loss. If your dandruff is severe and causes intense itching, scratching can lead to hair pulling due to the scalp trauma; however, your hair will always regrow.
My hair is dry and brittle, will Ketromax Shampoo damage my hair more?
Ketromax shampoo is designed for scalp treatment and not hair. Use it as a scalp treatment only; leave for 10 minutes before rinsing and follow with your regular shampoo and conditioner.
Can stress cause dandruff?
While not directly causing dandruff, stress can trigger other scalp conditions that may contribute to dandruff.
