Keto Plus Shampoo

Keto Plus Shampoo contains Ketoconazole as its active ingredient, an antifungal agent formulated into a medicated shampoo used to treat dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp. It works by reducing the growth of Malassezia yeast, a type of fungus naturally present on the scalp that can multiply excessively and contribute to flaking, itching, and scalp irritation when out of balance. Regular use as directed helps control symptoms and reduce the recurrence of flaking and scalp discomfort.

Keto Plus Shampoo is a non-prescription product in Malaysia and can be purchased over the counter or through DoctorOnCall without a doctor’s prescription. It is suitable for adults and adolescents experiencing dandruff or mild seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp. Anyone with a broken or severely inflamed scalp, or symptoms that do not improve with regular use, should consult a pharmacist or doctor for further evaluation.

Ketoconazole is an imidazole antifungal that works by disrupting the cell membrane of Malassezia yeast, a fungus commonly associated with dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis. By inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, Ketoconazole reduces the yeast population on the scalp, which in turn helps reduce flaking, itching, and inflammation associated with these conditions.

Wet the hair and scalp thoroughly, then apply an adequate amount of Keto Plus Shampoo, massaging gently into the scalp to work up a lather. Leave the shampoo on the scalp for approximately 3 to 5 minutes to allow the active ingredient to work before rinsing thoroughly with water. Use as directed on the packaging or as advised by a pharmacist, typically 2 to 3 times per week initially, then less frequently for maintenance once symptoms improve. Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse immediately with water if accidental contact occurs.

For the treatment of dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis, Keto Plus Shampoo is generally used 2 to 3 times per week for 2 to 4 weeks, or as advised by a pharmacist, depending on the severity of symptoms. Once symptoms are under control, the frequency may be reduced to once every 1 to 2 weeks for maintenance to help prevent recurrence. Do not use more frequently than recommended, as this does not speed up results and may cause unnecessary scalp dryness or irritation.

Keto Plus Shampoo is generally stable for up to 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Always check the expiry date printed on the bottle or carton before use, and do not use the product beyond its stated expiry date.

Store Keto Plus Shampoo below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed after use. Keep out of reach and sight of children. Do not freeze.
