How does CWIN Shampoo work?

CWIN Shampoo contains two active ingredients: Ciclopirox and Zinc Pyrithione. Ciclopirox works by inhibiting the growth of fungus and reducing the infection, causing membrane instability in fungal cells. Zinc Pyrithione helps to slow the production of skin cells and reduce flakiness, specifically targeting Malassezia species often associated with seborrheic dermatitis.

To use CWIN Shampoo, first wet your hair and scalp thoroughly. Apply approximately one to two teaspoons of the shampoo (adjusting for hair length), massage it into your scalp to create a lather, and leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes. Afterward, rinse your hair thoroughly with water. It is typically recommended to use CWIN Shampoo twice weekly for at least four weeks, or as directed by your doctor.

What are the possible side effects of CWIN Shampoo?

Common side effects may include mild, temporary itching, a burning sensation, skin redness, or scalp irritation at the application site. Rarely, some individuals with blonde or grey hair might notice hair discoloration. Most of these side effects are temporary and do not require medical attention, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Is CWIN Shampoo safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

CWIN Shampoo is considered a Category B pregnancy drug, meaning it should only be used if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. It is not known whether CWIN Shampoo is excreted in human milk. Therefore, it is strongly advised to consult a doctor before using this shampoo if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
