Medicated ketoconazole shampoo for the treatment and prevention of dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis
Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 100ml is a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole 2% w/v, an antifungal medicine that treats and helps prevent dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp caused by Malassezia yeast. It helps relieve flaking, scaling and itching while treating the underlying cause, leaving the scalp clean and healthy. The 100ml bottle provides a convenient treatment option for ongoing scalp care.
Overview
Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is a pharmacy medicine formulated with ketoconazole 2%, a proven antifungal ingredient that works by reducing the growth of Malassezia yeast, which is associated with dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis.
Unlike cosmetic anti-dandruff shampoos that primarily wash away flakes, Nizoral targets the underlying cause of dandruff while helping relieve associated itching, redness and scaling. It can be used both to treat active dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis and to help prevent recurrence after symptoms have cleared.
Always read the label and patient information leaflet before use.

Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Dandruff is a common scalp condition associated with an overgrowth of naturally occurring Malassezia yeast. Medicated shampoos containing ketoconazole treat the underlying cause rather than simply removing visible flakes.
For best results, complete the recommended treatment course even if symptoms improve early. During treatment, avoid scratching the scalp, as this may increase irritation. If symptoms persist after completing treatment, worsen, or if the scalp becomes painful, swollen or infected, seek advice from your GP or pharmacist.

- If you are allergic to ketoconazole or any of the ingredients.
- In children under 12 years unless advised by a healthcare professional.
- On broken or infected scalp skin unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or using topical corticosteroids on the scalp.
