1. What Mikanisal is and what it is used for
The active substance of Mikanisal shampoo is ketoconazole, which is used to treat and prevent fungal infections of the scalp. Ketoconazole works by damaging fungal cell membranes. The medicine acts topically in the surface layer of the scalp and does not penetrate into other parts of the body. Mikanisal is indicated for flaky skin of the scalp (dandruff) and seborrheic inflammation of the scalp (seborrheic dermatitis).
2. What you need to know before you use Mikanisal Do not use Mikanisal:
- if you are allergic to ketoconazole or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Like with other shampoos, avoid any contact of the shampoo with open wounds and eyes. In case of contact, immediately rinse the wound and eyes thoroughly with plenty of water. Seborrhoea and dandruff, for which Mikanisal shampoo is used, is often associated with hair loss. Hair loss may also occur when using Mikanisal shampoo, although it is uncommon. Children and adolescents Use of this medicine is not recommended in children, because there are no adequate data in this age group.
Other medicines and Mikanisal
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used or might use any other medicines. The shampoo may cause skin irritation (redness and itching of scalp) when used immediately after extended topical administration of corticosteroid treatment. In order to avoid that, gradually discontinue treatment during 2...3 weeks. Mikanisal shampoo can be used 3 weeks after discontinuing local corticosteroid treatment.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. As the active substance of Mikanisal - ketoconazole - is not absorbed when used topically, Mikanisal shampoo can be used during pregnancy and breast-feeding.
3. How to use Mikanisal

Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. For the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff use Mikanisal twice a week during 2...4 weeks. For prevention use once in 1.. .2 weeks. For one wash take 5...6 mL (1 teaspoonful) of shampoo, dilute it with small quantity of water and carefully massage into scalp and hair.

If you feel that the effect of Mikanisal is too strong or too weak, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
