Capasal shampoo is a medicated shampoo commonly used to treat scalp conditions like psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and dandruff.

Active Ingredients:

  2. Coconut Oil (1.0%): Moisturizes and softens the scalp, helping to lift and remove flakes.
  3. Salicylic Acid (0.5%): Acts as a keratolytic agent, breaking down dead skin cells and helping to remove scales.

How to Use:

  • Wet your hair thoroughly.
  • Apply a small amount of Capasal shampoo and massage it into your scalp.
  • Leave it on for 3–5 minutes to allow the ingredients to work.

How Capasal Works?

Capasal Shampoo works by combining three active ingredients that target the symptoms of scalp conditions like psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and dandruff. Here’s how it works:

  1. Coal Tar (0.5%):
    Coal tar reduces itching, scaling, and inflammation. It slows down the excessive production of skin cells, which is a key issue in psoriasis and other scalp conditions. This helps reduce the buildup of dead skin and scales.

  2. Coconut Oil (1.0%):
    Coconut oil acts as a moisturiser, softening and hydrating the scalp. It helps loosen and lift scales while preventing dryness, making the scalp feel more comfortable.

  3. Salicylic Acid (0.5%):
    Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that breaks down and dissolves dead skin cells. It helps remove flakes and scales, leaving the scalp cleaner and healthier.

By combining these ingredients, Capasal Shampoo not only cleanses the scalp but also soothes irritation, reduces scaling, and prevents itching. It’s an effective all-in-one solution for relieving and managing scalp conditions.

Directions for Use

Directions for Use:

  1. Wet your hair and scalp thoroughly with warm water.
  2. Apply a small amount of Capasal Shampoo (about the size of a coin) to your scalp.
  3. Massage gently into the scalp using your fingertips, ensuring it covers the affected areas.
  4. Leave the shampoo on the scalp for 3-5 minutes to allow the active ingredients to work effectively.
  5. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
  6. If necessary, repeat the process for better results.

Use as directed by your dermatologist as needed for symptom relief. For best results, use regularly or as recommended for your scalp condition. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with clean water.

Who Should Not Use Capasal?

Capasal Shampoo may not be suitable for everyone. Avoid using it if:

  1. You are allergic to coal tar, salicylic acid, coconut oil, or any of the other ingredients listed in the shampoo.
  2. You have broken or infected skin on your scalp, as this could cause irritation or worsen the condition.
  3. You are sensitive to sunlight, as coal tar can increase the skin’s sensitivity to UV light. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or UV lamps during use.
  4. You are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless advised by your doctor, as the safety of coal tar during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not well established.
  5. It is intended for children under 12 years of age, unless specifically recommended by the doctor.

If you are unsure or have any pre-existing conditions, consult a clinician before using Capasal Shampoo. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if irritation or worsening of symptoms occurs.
