Product Introduction
Emclean Shampoo contains Ketoconazole and Zinc pyrithione as active components. It is used to treat and prevent severe dandruff and scalp infections, including seborrheic dermatitis, a common scalp condition characterised by redness, scaling, and itching. The shampoo helps reduce inflammation and irritation on the scalp. It is also indicated for Tinea capitis (scalp ringworm) and other scalp infections caused by yeast or bacteria, helping to control the growth of these organisms on the scalp.
Emclean Shampoo should not be used in patients allergic to Ketoconazole, Zinc pyrithione, or any ingredient in the formulation. Caution is advised in patients with scalp eczema, psoriasis, and other inflammatory skin conditions. If open wounds or cuts are present on the scalp, use should be avoided until healing is complete. Patients with a history of liver disease should avoid use or use only under medical supervision.
Emclean Shampoo is not recommended for children under two years of age, as safety and efficacy in this age group have not been established. Use in older adults is generally considered safe. Potential side effects include scalp irritation, dryness, itching, and burning.
