Description
Medicasp Coal Tar Gel Original Strength Dandruff Shampoo is a medicated treatment shampoo that provides powerful relief from stubborn dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis of the scalp. This 6-ounce bottle contains coal tar, a clinically proven active ingredient that has been used for decades to treat various scalp conditions. The gel formulation allows for better contact time and penetration compared to traditional liquid shampoos, ensuring maximum therapeutic benefit. Medicasp is specifically designed for those who need stronger treatment than over-the-counter pyrithione zinc or selenium sulfide shampoos can provide. The coal tar works by slowing down the rapid cell turnover that causes scaling and flaking while reducing inflammation and itching. This original strength formula is recommended by dermatologists for moderate to severe dandruff and chronic scalp conditions. The thick gel texture makes application easy and ensures even distribution across the scalp. Regular use helps control symptoms and prevents recurrence of scalp problems while gently cleansing hair without over-drying.
Suggested Use
Wet hair and scalp thoroughly. Apply liberally to scalp and work into a rich lather. Allow to remain on scalp for several minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Use 2-3 times per week initially, then reduce frequency as symptoms improve. For best results, alternate with regular shampoo.
