Accepted Answer

Nizral 2% shampoo is an antifungal medication used to treat dandruff and certain types of fungal infections on the skin. To use it effectively, you should follow these steps: Wet your hair thoroughly. Apply a small amount of Nizral 2% shampoo to your scalp and massage it in gently to create a lather. Leave the shampoo on your scalp for 3-5 minutes to allow it to work effectively. Rinse your hair thoroughly with water. You can use Nizral 2% shampoo 2-3 times a week for best results, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is generally safe to use Nizral 2% shampoo on its own without mixing it with another shampoo. Remember to avoid getting the shampoo in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you experience any irritation or unusual side effects, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
