Effective care for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis
KETOconazol Klinge® Shampoo is your first choice to effectively combat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Developed to specifically address the causes, it not only offers rapid relief from symptoms such as dandruff, itching and redness, but also long-term prevention against the formation of new dandruff.

The combination in KETOconazol Klinge® Shampoo

Ketoconazole : The active ingredient, an antifungal that is effective against the fungus Malassezia furfur, which is responsible for many cases of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.

Dexpanthenol : Also included as a nourishing excipient - Known for its skin-soothing properties and contributes to the regeneration of the scalp.

Causes & Risk Factors of Dandruff and Seborrheic Dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff are often caused by an overproduction of skin oil (sebum) and the presence of the fungus Malassezia fufur. Risk factors such as hormonal fluctuations, stress and genetic predisposition can also influence these conditions. Environmental influences such as cold weather and dry heated air can also aggravate symptoms.

Overview of causes:

• Increased sebum production
• Fungal infection (mainly Malassezia furfur)
• Genetic factors and stress
• Environmental influences

Recognizing and understanding the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis

Typical symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff include:
• Oily dandruff that is white to yellowish
• Red, inflamed areas of skin
• Itchy scalp

Washing your hair too often can lead to dandruff
Washing your hair every day is not necessary and can strain the scalp. The skin's natural protective film is removed by frequent washing, which stimulates the skin to produce more sebum. If you reduce the frequency of hair washing, the skin can adjust and reduce sebum production. At first, the hair may appear a little greasier, but this normalizes over time.

Recommended use
For use in adults, including the elderly, and adolescents.

1. Wet hair and scalp thoroughly with water.
2. Use a walnut-sized amount of shampoo.
3. Massage the shampoo all over the scalp and leave for 3 - 5 minutes
. 4. Then rinse thoroughly.

If necessary, a mild shampoo, such as Physiogel Scalp Care Extra Mild Shampoo, can be used between applications of KETOconazol Klinge® 20 mg/g Shampoo.

In the event of an acute attack, use Ketoconazol Klinge® Shampoo twice a week for a period of 2-4 weeks. If symptoms improve, reduce application to once a week to keep the scalp healthy.

For prophylaxis: use once every 1 - 2 weeks to prevent symptoms from recurring. There is no time limit for preventive use.
