Abstract
A double-blind comparative study between ketoconazole 2% shampoo and selenium sulphide showed that both are effective in the treatment of dandruff, and that the ketoconazole shampoo reduces hair greasiness significantly and is the more acceptable formulation. In a double-blind placebo controlled study ketoconazole 2% shampoo used once weekly was found to be effective in preventing recurrence of dandruff in previously treated patients.Keywords
