Can I apply oil before using ketoconazole shampoo? Or should I use a regular shampoo first, then follow it with the ketoconazole one? I'm a bit confused about whether it's okay to use it daily or if there's a recommended duration for how long I should use it.

Applying Oil Before Ketoconazole Shampoo

• Avoid applying oil before using ketoconazole shampoo as it can reduce the shampoo's effectiveness by creating a barrier on the scalp.

Shampooing Sequence

• Use ketoconazole shampoo directly on the scalp without a regular shampoo first. Follow the instructions on the label for best results.

Frequency and Duration of Ketoconazole Shampoo Use

• Use 2-3 times a week. Continue for 2-4 weeks or as directed by a healthcare provider. Consult a doctor if no improvement is seen.

Safety and Precautions

• Avoid daily use unless advised by a doctor. Stop use if irritation or allergic reactions occur and seek medical advice.

Additional Tips

• Maintain a healthy scalp by avoiding harsh hair products and keeping the scalp clean and dry.
