Description

What Is Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo?

Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo is a clinically formulated scalp treatment designed for dry, flaky and inflamed scalp conditions. It is commonly used to manage:

Seborrhoeic Dermatitis (Eczema)

A chronic skin disorder that causes red, greasy, scaly and itchy patches on the scalp.

Dandruff (Pityriasis Capitis)

A widespread dermatological condition where the scalp becomes flaky and irritated, affecting the skin barrier and causing visible scale.

Scalp Psoriasis

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 Therapeutic Shampoo Ingredients

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.

Important Information Before Use

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 Therapeutic Shampoo for Babies

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.

Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo for Psoriasis

Capasal is highly effective for scalp psoriasis, helping to:

  • Reduce thick scale build-up

  • Ease redness and inflammation

  • Relieve itching

  • Improve overall scalp comfort

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

How to Use Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo (250ml)

Follow these instructions unless your doctor gives different advice:

  1. Wet the hair and scalp thoroughly.

  2. Apply a small amount of shampoo (around the size of a 50p coin).

  3. Massage gently into the scalp using fingertips.

  4. Leave on for a few minutes.

  5. Remove lather using your hands to help lift scale.

  6. Rinse thoroughly.

  7. Repeat if required.

  8. Use daily initially, then reduce frequency as symptoms improve.

Capasal and Hair Loss

Hair loss is not a known side effect of Capasal Therapeutic Shampoo. If you experience increased shedding, stop using the product and consult your doctor. Hair thinning may be related to the underlying scalp condition rather than the shampoo itself.
