Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 400ML

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 400 mL is a medicated scalp treatment built around a single clinically studied active ingredient: 2% ketoconazole. Rather than relying on fragrance or conditioning agents to mask flakes, it is formulated to target the fungus associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. XIIBNIB stocks the full-size 400 mL bottle so Canadian shoppers can keep a trusted, Health Canada-approved dandruff shampoo on hand without paying pharmacy mark-up.

Quick Answer

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is a Health Canada-regulated medicated shampoo (DIN 02182920) containing 2% ketoconazole, an antifungal ingredient that kills the fungus linked to dandruff, itching, flaking and seborrheic dermatitis. Adults and children over 12 use it twice weekly for 2 to 4 weeks, then once every 1 to 2 weeks to help keep symptoms from returning.

What Is Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo?

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is a medicated liquid shampoo carrying a Canadian Drug Identification Number (DIN 02182920), which means its safety and formulation have been reviewed by Health Canada. Its active ingredient, ketoconazole, is an antifungal that works by killing the fungus that can cause dandruff, seborrhea and the associated dry, itchy scalp that comes with it. Instead of simply washing away visible flakes, it addresses the underlying cause so results last longer between washes.

The 400 mL bottle is a practical size for regular medicated use, giving individual users or households enough shampoo to complete an initial treatment course and continue with ongoing maintenance washes.

Who Should Use It

• Adults and children over 12 years old dealing with visible dandruff flakes.
• Anyone experiencing an itchy, flaking scalp linked to seborrheic dermatitis.
• People who have tried cosmetic anti-dandruff shampoos without lasting results.
• Anyone who prefers a medicated, DIN-approved formula over a cosmetic-only shampoo.

Who Should Not Use It

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is for external use on the scalp only and is not suitable for everyone. Based on the manufacturer’s labelling:

• Do not use on a scalp that is broken, inflamed, or on open wounds or damaged skin.
• Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs.
• Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or already using a corticosteroid on the scalp.
• Keep out of reach of children, and seek medical help or contact a Poison Control Centre immediately if swallowed.
• In rare cases, oily or dry hair, or discolouration of grey, tinted or permed hair has been reported.

Product Specifications

How Ketoconazole Works

Ketoconazole is an antifungal ingredient that targets the fungus (a type of yeast that naturally lives on the scalp) which can multiply and contribute to dandruff, flaking, itching and seborrheic dermatitis. By controlling this fungus at the source, Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo is designed to reduce flaking and itching while helping prevent dandruff from quickly returning, rather than only rinsing away flakes that are already visible.

Ingredients

Active ingredient: Ketoconazole 2%.

Non-medicinal ingredients (as listed on the product label): cocoamide DEA, disodium laureth sulphosuccinate, FD&C red no. 3, fragrance, hydrochloric acid, imidazolidinyl urea, laurdimonium hydroxypropyl hydrolyzed collagen, methyl glucose dioleate, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, sodium laureth sulphate, and water.

How to Use Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm water.
2. Apply 1 to 2 teaspoons of shampoo and lather into the scalp and hair.
3. Leave the lather on hair for 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Use twice a week for 2 to 4 weeks, then reduce to once every 1 to 2 weeks to help prevent dandruff from returning.

This routine is intended for adults and children over 12 years old. Avoid contact with eyes during application and rinsing.

Everyday Use Cases

Many people use Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo as a periodic medicated treatment alongside their regular hair care routine rather than as a full replacement for everyday shampoo. On non-treatment days, it can be paired with a gentle daily shampoo such as Herbal Essences Shampoo or followed by a moisturizing conditioner like Kirkland Signature Moisture Hair Conditioner to help offset dryness. Between washes, a dry shampoo such as Batiste Dry Shampoo can help manage oil at the roots without disrupting the medicated treatment schedule.

Those focused on broader scalp health may also want to look at a dedicated scalp treatment such as DS Laboratories Revita Conditioner, which is formulated as a complementary scalp-focused conditioner rather than a dandruff treatment.

What Makes This Version Different

Unlike cosmetic anti-dandruff shampoos that rely mainly on conditioning agents or fragrance to temporarily hide flakes, this formula’s DIN (02182920) means it has been reviewed and authorized by Health Canada as a medicated product with a defined active ingredient concentration: 2% ketoconazole. The 400 mL size is also larger than many single-purpose dandruff shampoos sold in drugstores, making it a practical choice for ongoing maintenance use rather than a single short-term treatment.

Storage Instructions

Store Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo at 15°C to 30°C, for external use only, and keep it out of the reach of children.
