Posted on Wed, 22 Jan 2020
Question: Brief Answer:
Antifungal shampoo, oral antifungals

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.

For dandruff, you need to use an anti-fungal shampoo containing ketoconazole or ciclopirox olamine twice weekly.

In severe cases, you can take oral antifungal like capsule Itraconazole 100mg or tablet Terbinafine 250mg once daily for 2-3 weeks.
Oral antifungals are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Regards
Dr. Asmeet
