Question

I've been dealing with a dandruff issue and my doctor initially recommended Topisal 6. However, when I went to the pharmacy, they didn't have it in stock, so they gave me Propysalic NF instead. I'm wondering if Propysalic NF works just as well as Topisal 6, or should I try to get back on Topisal 6? Would love to hear your thoughts on whether this switch might affect how effective it is for treating my dandruff.

Propysalic NF contains clobetasol propionate and salicylic acid, which are effective in treating dandruff. However, it may have a different potency compared to Topisal 6%, which contains clobetasol propionate only. Propysalic NF can be effective in treating dandruff, but if you are not seeing the desired results, you may consider switching back to Topisal 6% for better control of your dandruff. Follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions for optimal results.
