How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Zinc Pyrithione 1%/Ketoconazole 1% Shampoo is a specially formulated liquid solution designed for the cleansing and conditioning of the hair and scalp. It is typically used during bathing or showering, providing a lathering and rinsing action to remove dirt, oil, and impurities, while promoting healthy hair and scalp conditions. This shampoo is a topical medication primarily used to treat dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and other scalp conditions.

The shampoo works by reducing the amount of yeast on the scalp, which can cause inflammation and irritation. The combination of zinc pyrithione and ketoconazole in the shampoo helps to reduce the yeast on the scalp, while also providing anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties. This dual-action formula not only cleanses the scalp but also treats the underlying condition, providing relief from symptoms and promoting overall scalp health.

To use this shampoo, begin by wetting the hair and scalp with warm water. Apply a small amount of the shampoo to the scalp and massage it in for several minutes. This allows the active ingredients to penetrate the scalp and work effectively. Rinse the shampoo off thoroughly with warm water. This process should be repeated two to three times a week, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

It is important to note that this shampoo should not be used on broken or irritated skin. If you experience any irritation or discomfort while using this shampoo, discontinue its use and contact your healthcare provider immediately. Always follow the usage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist to ensure appropriate treatment.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
