Civaderm Shampoo


Product introduction

Civaderm Shampoo is an anti-dandruff medicine that is used to treat dandruff. It fights against dandruff-causing microorganisms to stop their spread and growth. It rejuvenates the skin cells and helps in getting dandruff-free hair.

Civaderm Shampoo is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. Before using it you must read the label for a proper application that will ensure a better efficacy of the medicine. If it gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina rinse it with water. Civaderm Shampoo may take several days to weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using it regularly. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, you should talk to your doctor.

You must consult the doctor if you experience any allergic reaction (rashes, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, etc.).

Before using Civaderm Shampoo, it is important to tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines for the same disease or other diseases. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should take this medicine with proper consultation and caution.
