Ketocip 2% Shampoo contains Ketoconazole 2% w/v, an imidazole antifungal agent effective in the treatment of various fungal infections of the scalp. It is primarily indicated for the management of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, conditions characterized by scaling, itching, and inflammation due to Malassezia species overgrowth. Ketoconazole exerts its antifungal action by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to fungal cell death. Ketocip 2% Shampoo is formulated for topical application and is recommended to be used twice weekly for optimal therapeutic outcomes. It is suitable for adult patients and adolescents, with caution advised in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any shampoo excipients. The shampoo should be applied to the wet scalp, massaged gently to form a lather, left in place for 3 to 5 minutes to allow adequate contact time, and then rinsed thoroughly. Adverse effects are generally mild and may include local irritation, itching, or dryness. Ketocip 2% Shampoo is a valuable option in the management of fungal scalp conditions, contributing to symptom relief and prevention of recurrence when used as directed.
