Introduction to Emclean Shampoo
Emclean Shampoo contains the active ingredients Ketoconazole and Zinc Pyrithione, which work together to treat and prevent severe dandruff and scalp infections like seborrheic dermatitis—a condition causing redness, scaling, and itching of the scalp. It helps reduce scalp inflammation and irritation and is also effective against scalp infections such as Tinea capitis (scalp ringworm), as well as other yeast and bacterial infections. Emclean helps control the overgrowth of yeast and bacteria on the scalp, promoting a healthier scalp environment.
This shampoo should not be used by individuals allergic to Ketoconazole, Zinc Pyrithione, or any of its ingredients. Use with caution if you have scalp conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or other inflammatory skin issues. Avoid applying it to open wounds or cuts on the scalp until they are fully healed. Those with a history of liver disease should consult a doctor before use or use it under medical supervision.
Emclean Shampoo is not recommended for children under the age of two, as its safety and efficacy in this age group have not been established. It is generally safe for use in older adults, but potential side effects like scalp irritation, dryness, itching, or burning should be noted.
