Ketoconazole shampoo is an antifungal treatment used to relieve dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and pityriasis versicolor, all of which are commonly caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the scalp or skin. It works by reducing this yeast and calming the inflammation that leads to flaking, itching and redness.

Who it's suitable for: Ketoconazole shampoo is generally suitable for adults and adolescents over 12. It isn't recommended if you're allergic to ketoconazole or any of its ingredients, and it's worth mentioning to your prescriber if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other medicated skin products.
How to order from Access Doctor: Simply complete a short online consultation so one of our prescribers can confirm it's suitable for you. Once approved, your order is dispatched with discreet packaging, with next-day delivery available across the UK for orders placed before 3pm.
How to use it: For dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis, use the shampoo twice weekly for 2–4 weeks, then once every 1–2 weeks to help prevent it returning. Wet your hair, apply, leave for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Yes. Ketoconazole 2% shampoo is available through Access Doctor following a short online consultation, so one of our prescribers can confirm it's the right choice for you before it's dispatched.
Ketoconazole 2% shampoo is classed as a pharmacy medicine, so it doesn't require a formal prescription. Access Doctor still asks you to complete a brief online consultation, which lets us check it's suitable and safe for you before your order is sent out.
