Nizoral 2% Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Higher-Strength Ketoconazole Formula
Extra-strength treatment for severe or recurring dandruff
Size: 100mL
Nizoral 2% Anti-Dandruff Shampoo contains ketoconazole (double the concentration of the 1% formulation) and is indicated for the topical treatment of severe dandruff of the scalp.
Like the 1% formulation, Nizoral 2% works by targeting the fungal overgrowth associated with dandruff (a naturally occurring yeast called Malassezia). The higher concentration delivers a stronger dose of ketoconazole directly to the scalp, which helps manage more severe dandruff, reducing flaking, itching, redness, and scaling.

How to use Nizoral 2% ketoconazole shampoo
Nizoral 2% is applied twice weekly. Wet the hair and scalp, apply a small amount of shampoo and work into a lather, then leave it in contact with the scalp for 3–5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. It is suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age. The prolonged contact time allows the active ingredient to work on the scalp before rinsing, which is an important difference from everyday shampoos.
Available as a Pharmacy Medicine in Australia
Nizoral 2% is available without a prescription from pharmacies across Australia, including Chemist Warehouse, Priceline, Terry White Chemmart, and Blooms The Chemist. If you are unsure which strength of ketoconazole shampoo is right for you, ask your pharmacist for advice.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
