Do I need a prescription to buy Nizoral 2% Shampoo?

No. Nizoral 2% Shampoo is a non-prescription product and can be ordered without a prescription. It is still dispensed by a registered pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.

What does Nizoral 2% Shampoo contain?

Nizoral 2% Shampoo is a healthcare product containing Ketoconazole 2% w/v. The full ingredient list is shown in the Composition or Ingredients section on this page and on the product packaging.

What pack sizes does Nizoral 2% Shampoo come in?

It is supplied in a pack size of 100ml. Choose the pack size you need from the options shown on this page before adding the item to your cart.

Why is there no information here about what Nizoral 2% Shampoo is for?

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.

How should I use Nizoral 2% Shampoo?

Follow the instructions printed on the label and in the leaflet supplied with the pack, and do not exceed the stated amount or duration. Handling steps are set out in the Directions for Use section on this page.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Nizoral 2% Shampoo before I buy it?

Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Nizoral 2% Shampoo?

Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.

How long will delivery take?

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day. Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.

What payment methods can I use?

Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay. FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.

Can Nizoral 2% Shampoo be delivered to Singapore?

Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee. Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.

Is Nizoral 2% Shampoo registered with the authorities?

Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number. An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.

Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?

DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre. For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

Overview

Nizoral 2% Shampoo is supplied as a healthcare product, with Ketoconazole 2% w/v. It is supplied in a pack size of 100ml.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Wet the hair and scalp thoroughly, apply enough shampoo to work up a lather, and massage gently into the scalp, leaving it in place for about 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. For treatment of dandruff, this is usually done twice a week for 2 to 4 weeks, then reduced to less frequent use (such as every 1 to 2 weeks) to help prevent recurrence, or as directed by a pharmacist.

Dosage

Use Nizoral 2% Shampoo as a topical scalp treatment, typically twice weekly for the initial treatment period, leaving it on the scalp for the recommended contact time before rinsing. After symptoms improve, it may be used intermittently (for example, every 1 to 2 weeks) as a maintenance routine to help prevent dandruff from returning; follow the specific schedule on the packaging or a pharmacist’s advice.

Shelf Life

Nizoral 2% Shampoo generally has a shelf life of around 2 to 3 years from manufacture when unopened and stored correctly; check the expiry date on the bottle before use. Once opened, use within the timeframe stated on the label for best results.

Storage Instructions

Store the shampoo below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the cap tightly closed between uses. Keep out of reach of children, and avoid contact with the eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if accidental eye contact occurs.

Side Effects

Nausea or vomiting
Stomach pain
Headache
Dizziness
Itching or skin rash (when applied topically)
Abnormal liver function tests
Hair thinning (topical use)

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole or any ingredient in the shampoo
Broken or significantly irritated scalp skin (use with caution, seek pharmacist advice)
Avoid use on children without pharmacist or doctor guidance
Not for use on areas other than the scalp/hair unless directed

Drug / Food Interactions

Minimal systemic absorption is expected with normal topical scalp use, so significant drug interactions are uncommon
Avoid using other medicated scalp treatments at the same time without pharmacist advice, as this may increase irritation
Inform your pharmacist if you are using other topical scalp or hair treatments concurrently
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are also using an oral antifungal medicine (including oral ketoconazole) to avoid unnecessary duplication of treatment

Quick Tips

Leave the shampoo on the scalp for the full recommended contact time for best effect
Avoid getting the shampoo in your eyes; rinse immediately with water if this happens
Be patient – visible improvement in dandruff usually takes a few weeks of consistent use
Switch to maintenance (less frequent) use once symptoms are controlled
Stop use and consult a pharmacist if irritation or hair loss worsens
Store away from children and avoid swallowing
