Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo is a specialist treatment for dry, scaly scalp conditions including psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and stubborn dandruff. Its triple-action formula lifts scale, soothes itching and moisturises the scalp. Suitable for adults, the elderly, children, infants and babies.
Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo is a clinically formulated scalp treatment designed for dry, flaky and inflamed scalp conditions. It is commonly used to manage:
A chronic skin disorder that causes red, greasy, scaly and itchy patches on the scalp.
A widespread dermatological condition where the scalp becomes flaky and irritated, affecting the skin barrier and causing visible scale.
A long-term condition where the skin produces new cells too quickly, leading to thick, red, scaly plaques on the scalp.
Capasal can also be used to remove build-up from other scalp medications, helping the active ingredients of subsequent treatments to penetrate better. It is suitable for all ages including babies and infants.
You must not use Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Stop use immediately and seek medical advice if you experience signs of an allergic reaction.
Capasal contains three key active ingredients that work together to relieve scalp symptoms:
Salicylic Acid – breaks down thick scale and loosens flakes
Coconut Oil – softens, moisturises and lubricates the scalp
Distilled Coal Tar – reduces itching and slows down rapid skin cell growth
Exact concentrations are listed on the product packaging and patient information leaflet.
Before using Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo (Dermal Laboratories Ltd), consider the following:
For external use on the scalp only
Stop using if the scalp becomes irritated or sore
Consult your doctor if symptoms persist beyond 4 weeks
Safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, although you should always seek medical advice in the first trimester
Capasal is suitable for babies and infants and is frequently used to help soften and remove cradle cap. Use sparingly and avoid contact with the eyes.

It can be used daily until symptoms improve, then reduced to once or twice weekly for maintenance.

Massage gently into the scalp using fingertips.
Leave on for a few minutes.
