Product introduction
Apply a small amount of Powercort Shampoo to your scalp, gently massage it in, and leave it on for about 15 minutes before rinsing. Follow your doctor’s instructions, typically using it once a day for up to 4 weeks, unless otherwise directed.
Use Powercort Shampoo in the exact dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. Apply a small amount of Powercort Shampoo to the scalp and gently massage it in. Leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with water. Stick to your prescribed routine and avoid overuse, as long-term use of Powercort Shampoo can cause thinning of the skin.
Common side effects of Powercort Shampoo include a burning sensation of the skin, acne, and inflammation of hair follicles. These are usually temporary and go away on their own. If they get worse or persist, or you notice signs of a skin infection (like swelling or pus), stop using the shampoo and consult your doctor.
Before using Powercort Shampoo, inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Avoid contact with your eyes, mouth, or any areas of broken skin. In case of accidental contact, rinse it thoroughly with plenty of water. Do not use it on other parts of your body unless directed by your doctor. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should talk to their doctors before starting this medication to make sure it is safe for them.

How to use Powercort Shampoo
How Powercort Shampoo works
Quick tips
- Avoid using Powercort Shampoo for longer than 4 weeks unless instructed by your doctor to prevent side effects like skin thinning.
- Make sure your scalp is clean and dry before applying the shampoo for the best results. This helps the medication absorb better and work more effectively.
- After applying, let it sit on your scalp for 15 minutes before rinsing. This gives the medicine time to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
- Do not use hot water as it can irritate the scalp and worsen psoriasis symptoms, making treatment less effective.
- While on treatment with this medicine, avoid harsh shampoos or hair products that could irritate your scalp. Opt for mild, fragrance-free options to support the healing process.
- Powercort Shampoo is meant for psoriasis-affected areas only. Avoid applying it to healthy or broken skin, as this can lead to unnecessary irritation or side effects.
