You should avoid getting in contact with your mouth, eyes, and nose. In case of accidental contact, wash it off with plenty of water. Keep using it regularly to get the most benefit. The medicine is generally safe to use with no common side effects. Inform your doctor if you experience skin irritation, redness or itching at the site of application. It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction. This medicine should only be used if it is clearly needed during pregnancy.

How it works
Mycoclin Shampoo is a combination of two antifungal medicines: Sertaconazole and Zinc pyrithione which treat dandruff. It stops the growth of fungi that cause dandruff by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. This reduces flakiness and itching due to dandruff.
Quick Tips
Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use. Leave the shampoo on for three to five minutes before rinsing. Take care to avoid getting it in your eyes. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Stop using Mycoclin Shampoo and inform your doctor if you notice any irritation or any other skin infection. Your usual shampoo can be used as necessary between treatment with this medicine.
