It is also used to treat irregular white or brown patches which occur on the body and sometimes appear after being in the sun (tinea/pityriasis versicolor). Regular application of Nozal 2% Shampoo on the scalp relieves itching and discomfort in people suffering from dandruff.

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 Nozal 2% Shampoo more often than directed.
Q. How should I apply Nozal 2% Shampoo?
You should first wash your hair or affected area thoroughly with water. Then apply a small amount of Nozal 2% Shampoo on the scalp. Massage properly to form lather.
