Introduction
KT Cure 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. KT Cure 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.

Will dandruff lead to baldness?
No, having dandruff will not directly result in baldness. However, if your scalp is severely itchy and you scratch excessively, this can potentially cause hair loss due to the trauma of repeated scratching. If you notice an increase in hair fall, consult with your doctor for guidance.
Can KT Cure Shampoo damage my dry and brittle hair?
KT Cure Shampoo is specifically designed to control dandruff on the scalp, not to treat or affect the condition of your hair. To use it safely, apply the shampoo as a scalp treatment only, allowing it to sit for 10 minutes before rinsing out. Then, follow up with regular shampoo and conditioner to maintain the health of your hair.
Can stress trigger dandruff?
While stress is not directly responsible for causing dandruff, it can contribute to various scalp conditions, including dandruff. If you're experiencing excessive stress, it may be exacerbating your dandruff symptoms. Consult with your doctor for personalized advice on managing stress and addressing any related health concerns.
