K-Tar Shampoo 100 ml

K-Tar Shampoo is a medicated shampoo containing coal tar as its primary active ingredient, used to treat various scalp conditions such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. It works by slowing down skin cell growth and helping the skin shed dead cells from its top layer, which reduces scaling, dryness, itching, and inflammation. 

Benefits of K-Tar Shampoo:

Ø  Reduces scaling and flaking: Helps the scalp shed dead skin cells to decrease dryness and the formation of scales.

Ø  Relieves itching and inflammation: Has anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties to soothe an irritated scalp.

Ø  Slows skin cell growth: Acts as a keratolytic agent to help normalize the excessive production of skin cells often seen in conditions like psoriasis.

Ø  Acts as an antiseptic: Its antibacterial properties cleanse the scalp and help prevent secondary infections. 

Ingredients of K-Tar Shampoo:

The primary active ingredient is coal tar. The exact concentration may vary (e.g., 0.5% or higher), and the shampoo may contain other inactive ingredients (surfactants, etc.) or additional active ingredients (like salicylic acid or ketoconazole in combination products) depending on the specific formulation.
