WHAT IS NIZORAL SHAMPOO FOR?

Nizoral Shampoo is a medicine to treat and prevent the relapse of skin infections caused by fungi or yeasts. Both the scalp and larger areas on the chest or face can be treated with the shampoo. Nizoral Shampoo is not recommended for use in infants and children below the age of 12 years.

It is used for various skin infections, which you can recognize by:

• scales on the scalp (dandruff);

• reddish brown patches with yellow or white scaling, usually in the face or on the chest (seborrheic dermatitis);

• small, brown or white-colored, irregular patches on the trunk (pityriasis versicolor).

HOW TO USE NIZORAL SHAMPOO AND HOW MUCH

Wash the infected parts of the skin or scalp with Nizoral Shampoo and allow the product to soak in for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing.

Make sure you thoroughly wash the skin or scalp itself and not just the hair. Usually a palmful or 1 sachet of shampoo suffices for one wash.

How often you will need to use Nizoral will depend on the type of infection and on whether you wish to cure or prevent it.

• Scales on the scalp (dandruff) and reddish brown patches with yellow or white scaling in the face or on the chest (seborrheic dermatitis).

  • For treatment, twice a week for 2 to 4 weeks.

  • To prevent relapses, once a week or once every 2 weeks.

• Small, brown or white-colored, irregular patches on the trunk (pityriasis versicolor)

  • For treatment, once a day for 1 to 3 days.

WHEN NOT TO USE NIZORAL SHAMPOO

Do not use Nizoral Shampoo if you know you are hypersensitive (allergic) to it.

Symptoms of hypersensitivity include itching and red skin, occurring after application.
