Frequently asked questions about Fluocinolone acetonide
Q. What is Pelliwash Shampoo? What is it used for?
Pelliwash Shampoo belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids. It is used to control scaling, flaking, and itching caused by dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis). Dandruff is often associated with excessive growth of Pityrosporum orbiculare (Malassezia furfur), a fungus that is normally present on the skin. Pelliwash Shampoo also helps treat irregular white or brown patches on the body that sometimes appear after sun exposure (a condition known as tinea or pityriasis versicolor). Regular application of Pelliwash Shampoo on the scalp helps relieve itching and discomfort associated with dandruff.
Q. Can Pelliwash Shampoo be used in kids?
No, Pelliwash Shampoo is not approved for use in children. Its safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. Therefore, you should avoid using this medicine in children without medical advice. Always consult your doctor before using Pelliwash Shampoo.
Q. Is Pelliwash Shampoo an antibacterial agent?
No, Pelliwash Shampoo is not an antibacterial agent. It is a corticosteroid used for the treatment of dandruff. Pityrosporum orbiculare (Malassezia furfur), a type of fungus, plays an important role in the development of dandruff. Pelliwash Shampoo is effective in reducing swelling, redness, and itching of the scalp caused by dandruff.
Q. How often should I use Pelliwash Shampoo?
If you are using Pelliwash Shampoo to treat dandruff, apply it once daily. To help prevent dandruff from returning, use it once a week. Do not use Pelliwash Shampoo more often than prescribed. Consult your doctor if you are unsure about how to use it.
Q. How should I apply Pelliwash Shampoo?
First, wash your hair or the affected area thoroughly with water. Then, apply a small amount of Pelliwash Shampoo to your scalp and massage gently to form a lather. Leave it on for 3-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water. If you have long or thick hair, you can wash your hair with your regular shampoo first and then use Pelliwash Shampoo.
Q. I have started using Pelliwash Shampoo. When can I expect to see the improvements?
You should start noticing improvement in symptoms like itching or soreness within a few days of using Pelliwash Shampoo. However, signs like redness and scaling may take longer to resolve. Continue using Pelliwash Shampoo for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if you start feeling better, to ensure complete effectiveness.
