Keraglo-AD Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (Ketoconazole 2% w/v)
Keraglo-AD is a clinically proven antifungal shampoo formulated to treat and prevent dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and pityriasis versicolor. The active ingredient, Ketoconazole (2%), works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. By targeting the Malassezia fungus—a naturally occurring yeast on the scalp that can overgrow and cause irritation—Keraglo-AD eliminates the root cause of flaking and itching. In addition to its antifungal properties, this shampoo helps reduce scalp inflammation and redness, providing a cleaner, healthier environment for hair growth. Its “AD” (Anti-Dandruff) formula is specifically balanced to be effective against tough flakes while remaining gentle on the hair shafts.
Key Features
- Effectively eliminates the Malassezia yeast responsible for the majority of dandruff cases.
- Provides immediate soothing action to reduce the urge to scratch, which prevents further scalp damage.
- Offers the maximum therapeutic concentration available for over-the-counter or prescription-grade dandruff control.
- Reduces the oily, yellow, scaly patches associated with more severe scalp conditions.
- When used as a maintenance therapy, it prevents the fungal population from rebounding.
Key Ingredients
- Ketoconazole (2% w/v)
- Ichthyol Pale (in some formulations)
- Conditioning Agents
Precautions
- Wait Time: The medicine needs time to work. Do not rinse it off immediately; it requires contact time with the scalp.
- Eye Irritant: Avoid contact with eyes. If the shampoo gets in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with cool water.
- Open Wounds: Do not use on a highly irritated, broken, or bleeding scalp unless directed by a physician.
- Pregnancy/Nursing: While systemic absorption is minimal, consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Hair Texture: In rare cases, especially with chemically treated or gray hair, a slight change in hair texture or color may occur.
How to Use
- Wet your hair and scalp thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Apply a small amount of Keraglo-AD to the scalp and massage gently to create a rich lather. Focus on the areas with the most flaking.
- Leave the lather on your scalp for **3 to 5 minutes**. This is critical for the Ketoconazole to penetrate the fungal cell walls.
- Rinse your hair and scalp completely with water.
- Use twice a week for 2 to 4 weeks to treat the condition. For prevention, use once every 1 or 2 weeks.
Legal Disclaimer: Keraglo-AD is a medicated shampoo. If symptoms do not improve after 4 weeks of use, or if scalp irritation increases, stop use and consult a dermatologist.
