Medicine information
Uses & overview
KATARINA ADVANCE SHAMPOO by Steris Healthcare offers a multi-action therapeutic solution for recalcitrant dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and associated hair loss. Formulated with a dual antifungal complex (Ketoconazole and ZPTO), this therapeutic shampoo targets the root cause of flakes and scalp inflammation while enriching the hair shaft with Biotin, D-Panthenol, and Aloe Vera to ensure smooth, soft, and healthy hair growth. Key Ingredients & Clinical Benefits: Ketoconazole: A potent broad-spectrum antifungal agent that targets and eradicates Malassezia species—the primary yeast responsible for dandruff, severe scaling, and scalp seborrheic dermatitis. Zinc Pyrithione (ZPTO): A clinically proven anti-dandruff and antibacterial agent that reduces scaling, controls excess scalp sebum production, and relieves persistent scalp itching. Biotin (Vitamin B7): Strengthens hair keratin structure, reduces hair breakage, and supports thicker, healthier hair follicles. D-Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Deeply hydrates the scalp and hair strands, locks in moisture, improves elasticity, and prevents dryness or brittleness. Aloe Vera Extract: Soothes irritated, inflamed scalp tissue, cools burning sensations, and provides natural conditioning to leave hair smooth and manageable. Key Uses & Clinical Benefits: Eliminates Stubborn Dandruff: Effectively clears severe flakes, scalp scaling, and recurring dandruff outbreaks. Controls Scalp Itching & Inflammation: Calms redness, irritation, and intense itching associated with seborrheic dermatitis and fungal scalp conditions. Reduces Hair Fall: Minimizes dandruff-induced hair shedding by restoring a healthy, clean scalp environment and reinforcing hair root strength. Nourishes & Restores Shine: Prevents the harsh dryness commonly associated with medical anti-dandruff shampoos, keeping hair soft, hydrated, and shiny. Sebum Regulation: Normalizes oil production on the scalp to keep hair fresh and non-greasy.
How to use
Wet hair and scalp thoroughly with water. Apply an adequate amount of KATARINA ADVANCE SHAMPOO to the scalp and gently massage into a lather using your fingertips. Leave the shampoo on your scalp for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the active therapeutic ingredients to penetrate effectively. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Use 2 to 3 times weekly for 2 to 4 weeks for initial treatment, or as directed by your dermatologist. Maintain with once-weekly use to prevent dandruff recurrence.
