How Ketskin Ointment works

Ketskin C Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Cetrimide and Ketoconazole, which treats dandruff. Cetrimide is an antiseptic which kills bacteria, fungi and viruses on the scalp, and treats flaky and itchy scalp. Ketoconazole is an antifungal. It works by stopping the growth of dandruff-causing fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

Use twice weekly for 2-4 weeks. Clean and dry your scalp before applying it.
To help prevent dandruff from returning, you can continue to use Ketskin C Ointment once every 1-2 weeks or as prescribed by the doctor.
