Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Dry, itchy and scaly scalp conditions can have different causes, so obtaining the correct diagnosis is important. Capasal is intended for conditions such as scalp psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, severe dandruff and cradle cap. If your scalp becomes painful, develops blisters, shows signs of infection, or symptoms worsen despite treatment, consult your doctor.
Avoid scratching affected areas as this may increase irritation or damage the skin. Using Capasal regularly as directed can help remove built-up scales and improve the effectiveness of other prescribed scalp treatments by helping them reach the skin more effectively.
If you are using prescription scalp medicines, ask your pharmacist how best to incorporate Capasal into your treatment routine.
Always read the package leaflet before use.
