PEXIS Shampoo is a specialized solution,
available in a 100 ml quantity. It is a physician-recommended formula intended
for therapeutic use to maintain scalp hygiene and health by actively fighting
fungal infections. It provides a comprehensive approach to scalp care beyond
typical cosmetic shampoos.
Benefits of PEXIS Shampoo:
Ø Targets stubborn dandruff: Effectively removes
persistent flakes and helps prevent their recurrence.
Ø Relieves itchy, oily scalp: Formulated to control
oil buildup and soothe the irritation and itching associated with scalp
conditions.
Ø Treats seborrhoeic dermatitis: Manages symptoms of
this common inflammatory skin condition that affects the scalp.
Ø Strengthens hair: Helps promote a clean
scalp environment, which supports stronger, healthier-looking hair from root to
tip.
Ø Medicated formula: Contains active
ingredients that provide a treatment function, unlike standard cleansing
shampoos.
Ingredients of PEXIS Shampoo:
The
primary active ingredients in PEXIS Shampoo are:
Ø Ketoconazole 2%: A broad-spectrum synthetic antifungal
agent that works by disrupting the cell membranes of the fungus, stopping its
growth and spread.
Ø Zinc Pyrithione 1% (ZPTO): Another antifungal and
antibacterial agent that helps treat fungal infections and reduce the flakiness
and itching characteristic of dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis.
Usage Instruction of PEXIS Shampoo:
For
best results, PEXIS Shampoo should be used as follows:
Ø
Wet the affected scalp area or
hair thoroughly with water.
Ø
Shake the bottle and apply a
sufficient amount of shampoo to the scalp.
Ø
Massage into the scalp until it
lathers well, ensuring even coverage of all affected areas.
Ø
Leave the shampoo on the
scalp for
3 to 5 minutes to allow the active ingredients to work effectively.
Ø
Rinse thoroughly with water.
Ø
Wash your hands immediately
after use to prevent spreading the product or any infection to other areas.
It
is typically recommended to use the shampoo twice weekly for 2 to 4 weeks for
initial treatment, and then once every 1-2 weeks for prevention and
maintenance, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Side Effects of PEXIS Shampoo:

side effects are usually mild and not a cause for serious concern, but if they
persist or worsen, you should consult your doctor. Potential side effects may
include:

itching, or redness of the treated skin.

dryness, crusting, or peeling of the scalp.
