Medical Overview
Nizoral is listed as Dermatology containing Ketoconazole. A dermatology medicine used on the skin or by mouth depending on the active ingredient.
Nizoral shampoo (ketoconazole 2%) — the molecule’s brilliant second life after its oral tablets’ 2013 hepatotoxicity retirement: the reference for stubborn dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis (killing Malassezia at the root) and tinea versicolor body washes. The whole secret is contact time (3-5 full minutes before rinsing), twice-weekly treatment then weekly maintenance — dandruff is managed, not eradicated.
Uses / Indications
- Fungal skin infections
- seborrheic dermatitis
- Acne, allergy, inflammation, skin infection, or itching depending on diagnosis.
Side Effects
- موضعية خفيفة: جفاف شعر أو دهنية معاكسة لدى قلة
- حكة أو لسعة عابرة
- وتغير ملمس نادر. تحسس تماسي نادر. امتصاصه الجهازي شامبواً مهمل — همومُ أقراصه الكبدية لا تخصه.
- Irritation, dryness, redness, itching, or local allergy.
Contraindications
- حساسية سابقة له (الوحيدة عملياً). فروة متشققة ملتهبة بشدة: يلسع (تُهدأ أولاً). ليس للعين (اشطف فوراً إن دخلها).
- Deep wounds, severe infection, or ingredient allergy without medical assessment.
Warnings
- سرّه الزمني: أرغِه ودعه يعمل 3–5 دقائق (اغسل جسدك خلالها) ثم اشطف — الرغوة العابرة بلا مفعول. القشرة مرض مزمن متموج لا عدو يُباد: الصيانة الأسبوعية بعد التحسن هي الخطة لا الفشل. قشرة سميكة صدفية الشكل
- أو حمراء منتشرة خلف الأذنين والحاجبين بإصرار
- أو ثعلبة مرافقة = جلدية للتشخيص (صدفية فروة؟ أكزيما دهنية شديدة؟). بقع الصيف تعود صيفاً — وقايتها المسبقة أذكى من علاجها المتكرر. احجز جلدية عبر كلينكس جو.
- Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes unless the product is intended for that area.
Drug Interactions
