About this deal
Miconazole nitrate shampoos (4) act in the same way as ketoconazole shampoos and their dosage is identical.
Many shampoos are available without a prescription, so ask your pharmacist for advice and to help you find the right one for you. Shampoos based on ciclopirox olamine (4,5) are applied two or three times a week for four weeks. They provide anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory action. They are just as effective as ketoconazole. Whereas shampoo for dry dandruff will help fight dandruff while providing the hydration needed for a dry and irritated scalp. These treatments can sometimes have a drying effect, called the "straw effect". If this happens, you will need to change your treatment shampoo or use it less frequently and replace it with a mild shampoo.For simple to moderate dandruff conditions, i.e. mild desquamation with a little inflammation, treatment consists of using a suitable anti-dandruff shampoo, which must above all be used according to the instructions, i.e. applied correctly and regularly, and left on for the right amount of time. Different anti-dandruff shampoos have different actions (to fight oily or dry dandruff) and different ingredients (zinc pyrithione, piroctone olamine, selenium sulfide or salicylic acid).
