Product Overview
Ketocip Shampoo is a therapeutic shampoo formulated with Ketoconazole as its active ingredient. Designed specifically to combat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, this shampoo effectively alleviates scalp itching, flaking, and inflammation. Its clinically proven formula targets the Malassezia fungus – the primary cause of these scalp conditions – while maintaining a gentle cleansing action. Suitable for routine use, Ketocip Shampoo promotes a healthier scalp environment and leaves hair feeling revitalized.
Uses
Ketocip Shampoo is clinically indicated for managing:
- Persistent dandruff
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Fungal-related scalp conditions
These conditions manifest as excessive flaking, scalp irritation, and inflammation caused by Malassezia yeast overgrowth. The shampoo’s antifungal properties effectively control this microbial imbalance while soothing symptomatic discomfort.
How to Use
- Thoroughly wet hair and scalp with warm water
- Apply a sufficient amount (approximately 5ml) to create rich lather
- Gently massage into scalp for 1 minute
- Allow to remain on scalp for 3-5 minutes for optimal efficacy
- Rinse completely with water
For maintenance therapy, use as directed by your dermatologist or per package instructions.
Mechanism of Action
Ketocip Shampoo contains Ketoconazole, a broad-spectrum imidazole antifungal agent. It exerts its therapeutic effect by:

This triple-action mechanism provides comprehensive antifungal coverage while being gentle on scalp tissue.
