This shampoo contains a mild topical steroid and should typically be used for only 2 to 4 weeks (usually 2-3 times a week) to control active flare-ups. Using it longer is not recommended to avoid scalp thinning. For safe, long-term dandruff management, you can switch to non-steroidal alternative shampoos. Look for active generic ingredients such as Ketoconazole (an antifungal), Zinc Pyrithione, Selenium Sulfide, or Salicylic Acid. These are highly effective, safe for regular use, and help keep dandruff away. Consult a doctor if your symptoms persist.
