Q. What is Ketomac Shampoo? What is it used for?
Ketomac Shampoo is an antifungal medication used to control scaling, flaking and itching caused by dandruff.

Regular application of Ketomac Shampoo on the scalp relieves itching and discomfort in people suffering from dandruff.
Q. How often should I use Ketomac Shampoo?
If you are using it to treat dandruff, you should use it only twice weekly and if you are using it to prevent dandruff, then use it once weekly. Do not use Ketomac Shampoo more often than directed.
Q. How should I apply Ketomac Shampoo?
You should first wash your hair or affected area thoroughly with water. Then apply a small amount of Ketomac Shampoo on the scalp. Massage properly to form lather.
