What is Polytar Scalp Shampoo

Polytar Scalp Shampoo is used to treat scalp conditions such as psoriasis (thickened patches of inflamed, red skin, often covered by silvery scales), seborrhoeic dermatitis (red, scaly, itchy scalp), eczema (itchy skin rash), itchiness and scaling due to these conditions and dandruff.

How to use Polytar Scalp Shampoo

Polytar Scalp Shampoo is suitable for adults and children aged 12+. This medicine is for topical application to the scalp. The hair should be rinsed, and a sufficient amount of shampoo applied to produce an abundant lather.

The scalp and adjacent areas should be massaged with the fingertips. The hair should then be thoroughly rinsed and the procedure repeated. Taking both of these shampoo applications into consideration, the total leave on time for the shampoo should be 3-5 minutes.

This medicine should be used once or twice weekly to treat scalp disorders. If symptoms persist, please consult your GP.

Hazards and Cautions

Avoid using the product if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients. Tar products may cause skin irritation, rashes, and, rarely, photosensitivity. If you experience irritation or other unwanted effects, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
