Nizoral, while generally safe, can cause mild side effects. These include itching, burning, or redness at the application site. In some cases, you may experience dryness or irritation of your scalp. If these symptoms are severe or persistent, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
Rarely, Nizoral may cause more serious reactions such as allergic contact dermatitis, manifested as a severe rash or hives. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience such a reaction. This is especially important if you notice swelling of your face, lips, or tongue, or have difficulty breathing.
Before using Nizoral, inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, particularly those applied topically to your scalp. Interactions are possible. Pregnancy and breastfeeding should also be discussed with your healthcare provider before commencing treatment.
Avoid contact with your eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep Nizoral out of reach of children.
Follow the prescribed dosage instructions carefully. Do not exceed the recommended frequency or duration of treatment. Improper use can increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects.
Always read the product label thoroughly before using Nizoral. If you have any concerns or questions about using this medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
