Peculiarities
This remedy should be used against psoriasis and other dermatological problems. Zinc, which is an active ingredient, prevents unpleasant diseases such as fungus, or reduces its effect and protects against microbes. The tool works in such a way as to reduce the activity of bacteria and, ultimately, to nullify their presence.
A huge advantage of the action of zinc is the fact that it destroys the infection inside the cell, while not harming the cellular system itself. In addition, zinc not only has an effect on the symptoms of the disease, but also eliminates its causes.
If you use shampoo regularly, its effect is enhanced, as it is absorbed and remains inside, continuing to work even when you do not use it.

Contraindications and side effects
According to the manufacturers, the product should not be used only in case of individual intolerance to the listed components. But the fact is that among the ingredients there is a hormonal component, which somewhat expands the list of contraindications. Shampoo should not be used:

This should be done at least until you have cured the negative effects.

To make sure that the allergic reaction has passed, it is necessary to conduct special tests in the clinic or hospital. Do not do the verification yourself, it can not only turn out to be unreliable, but also harm you.
Precautionary measures
Dermatologists strongly advise to use the shampoo in a course and not to abuse this drug.This is because it contains such an element as clobetasol, which is quite harmful to the body, especially in large doses.
With the constant use of products with this ingredient, atrophic changes in the skin of the face and head may develop. You also need to be careful when using shampoo and avoid contact with eyes, otherwise the presence of hormonal elements will increase intraocular pressure. In addition to pressure, eye contact may in some cases cause cataracts or glaucoma.
Do not apply shampoo to areas of the skin that are not intended for this. For example, on the skin of the face or armpits. Otherwise, it can cause serious health problems like atrophy or dermatitis.
The instructions clearly state that children can be treated for psoriasis from the age of one year. As a rule, children easily tolerate medications and rarely experience any side effects. However, given the part of clobetasol, it is quite capable of leading to undesirable consequences. That's why it is recommended to use shampoo for children over 18 years old, when the body is stronger and more fortified.
Reviews
Buyers experienced the effect of shampoo in different ways. He helped someone a lot, and someone has a lot of claims. Let's start with the cons. The main dissatisfaction is related to the price of the shampoo., they write that it could be cheaper, and, given that it does not foam very well, it is consumed very quickly. In addition, some buyers noted that if you use the product regularly, the hair is likely to get used to it and the effect will decrease, and then completely disappear.
Someone wrote that one shampoo is not enough for a complete treatment, it needs lotion, drops and other drugs that can be found. And it is better, of course, before use, consult a doctor so that he prescribes the necessary medications.
In the pros, you can safely write down the fact that the product has a pleasant smell and, most importantly, that it still works. Many users said that the shampoo got rid of not only psoriasis, but also dandruff and other problems.
