Ketoclenz Shampoo contains Ketoconazole 2% w/v, an antifungal agent indicated for the treatment of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. Ketoconazole is a synthetic imidazole derivative that exhibits broad-spectrum antifungal activity by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting membrane integrity and leading to fungal cell death. Ketoclenz Shampoo is effective against Malassezia species, which are commonly implicated in dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. The formulation is intended for topical application to the scalp and should be used as directed, typically twice weekly for 2 to 4 weeks, with adjustments based on clinical response. It helps reduce scaling, itching, and inflammation associated with fungal infections of the scalp. Patients should apply the shampoo to wet hair, lather, leave it on the scalp for 3 to 5 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly. Ketoclenz Shampoo is generally well tolerated; however, mild local irritation or dryness may occur. It is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any components of the formulation. Use with caution in patients with broken or inflamed skin. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen.
