Directions for use

  • Always follow the instructions provided in the leaflet or as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse. If you are unsure about how to use the product, consult your healthcare provider.
  • Use Dermax Therapeutic Shampoo only for treating scalp conditions that it is intended for. Use it as a shampoo until your scalp looks and feels better, or as advised by your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
  • You can use Dermax Therapeutic Shampoo daily if needed, and reduce the frequency of use to once or twice a week as your condition improves. You may need to use it occasionally thereafter.
  • Wet your hair thoroughly and apply a sufficient amount of shampoo to produce a rich lather. The amount required depends on the length and thickness of your hair.
  • Massage the shampoo into your scalp with your fingertips, ensuring thorough coverage. Remove as much lather as possible with your hands to take the scales off.
  • Rinse out the shampoo with water, and repeat the above steps if necessary. Rinse your hair thoroughly and dry it as usual.
  • If the shampoo comes into contact with your eyes, rinse them immediately with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
  • If you use more shampoo than recommended, rinse your hair under running water and continue as instructed.
  • If you forget to use Dermax Therapeutic Shampoo occasionally, continue using it as usual when you remember.
  • If you do not see any improvement in your scalp condition after 4 weeks or if it seems to worsen, stop using the product and consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
