Medicine information
Uses & overview
KATARINA COAL TAR by Steris Healthcare brings together two potent, clinically proven dermatological agents to tackle complex and resistant scalp conditions. Combining broad-spectrum antifungal action with keratoplastic therapy, this specialized scalp solution targets both the fungal origin of scaling and the hyper-proliferation of skin cells, restoring a clean, calm, and healthy scalp environment. Key Ingredients & Clinical Benefits: Ketoconazole: A highly effective broad-spectrum antifungal agent that targets and eradicates Malassezia yeast overgrowth—the root cause of severe dandruff, flaking, and seborrheic scalp inflammation. Coal Tar Solution: A time-tested keratoplastic and antipruritic agent that slows down excessive epidermal cell division, sheds heavy plaque scales, and relieves chronic scalp itching and redness associated with psoriasis. Key Uses & Clinical Benefits: Targeted Scalp Psoriasis Therapy: Softens and lifts thick, silvery psoriasis plaques and scales from the scalp surface. Controls Severe & Recalcitrant Dandruff: Clears stubborn flakes and prevents recurring fungal-induced dandruff outbreaks. Relieves Intense Itching & Inflammation: Calms severe scalp irritation, burning sensations, and redness from the first few uses. Normalizes Cell Turnover: Slows down rapid skin cell multiplication to prevent new scale formation on the scalp. Deep Scalp Cleansing: Unclogs hair follicles and regulates scalp oil production without stripping natural hair moisture.
How to use
Wet hair and scalp thoroughly with lukewarm water. Apply an adequate amount of KATARINA COAL TAR solution directly to the scalp and gently massage with fingertips to create a lather. Leave the solution on the 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, or strictly as directed by your dermatologist.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry, and dark place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Maintain at a controlled temperature below 30°C. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach and sight of children.
