I'm trying to understand how to properly use this coal tar and salicylic acid scalp solution. After I apply it, do I need to wash my hair right after, or should I leave it on overnight? I'm a little confused about what the best way to use it is. Can you help clarify this for me?

I've been to the dermatologist yesterday and she prescribed me a number of medications. I took them this morning, but then I started experiencing loose motions. I took HHAZI 500 MG, BECOSULE, and ALECLOZ. Is this normal? Should I be concerned or do I need to do anything about it?
