Dandruff is an embarrassing condition and also causes hair loss. It causes the feeling of an itchy scalp, prompting one to constantly scratch one’ head. Scratching results in loosening of hair roots and causes the excessive shedding of hair. Hence, it is vital to deal with dandruff for preventing hair loss and other hair ailments.

Ketoconazole works by destroying fungi on the skin called Malassezia. Such fungi occur naturally on the skin, but in case of persons with dandruff, this fungus is found in excessive amounts.
Ketoconazole is able to kill fungi by interrupting the production of ergosterol, a compound which is of vital importance in the construction of fungal cell walls. When ergosterol production is stopped, there appear holes in the fungal cell walls. This causes leaking out of cell components which ultimately leads to death of the fungal cells.

The dandruff treatment shampoo of Ketomac is used for preventing and treating dandruff. It treats itching, scaling, flaking and relieving inflammation caused by dandruff. It may be used for other scalp conditions as determined by your physician.

It is recommended that the shampoo be used twice a week for 4 weeks. After the scalp is clear, the shampoo may be used once a week to prevent re-infection. Store the bottle in a cool, dry and dark place. Peak impact can be observed in 1 to 2 hours. Some users experience mild side effects like dry hair, burning sensation etc. But pregnant and lactating women are advised not to use this product.
