What Is Capasal Shampoo?

Capasal Shampoo is a medicated scalp treatment designed to help people who experience dandruff, psoriasis, or thick, flaky patches on their scalp. Its unique blend of coal tar, salicylic acid, and coconut oil helps soften and remove dead skin cells while relieving itching and irritation. As a result, Capasal can leave your hair and scalp feeling healthier and more comfortable.

This shampoo is commonly used by those who have tried regular anti-dandruff products without success, and need a more targeted approach to calm persistent scalp problems.

How Does It Work?

Capasal Shampoo combines three key ingredients:

  1. Coal Tar: Reduces inflammation and slows down the rate at which skin cells grow, helping clear flaky patches.
  2. Salicylic Acid: Gently breaks down dead skin cells, making it easier to remove built-up scales.
  3. Coconut Oil: Moisturises the scalp, preventing dryness and helping reduce further irritation.

When used regularly, these ingredients work together to gently cleanse your scalp and address the root causes of dandruff and scalp build-up.

Directions & Dosage

Follow these steps when using Capasal Shampoo:

  1. Wet your hair thoroughly before applying the shampoo.
  2. Massage a small amount into your scalp, focusing on areas with itching or flaking.
  3. Leave the shampoo on for around three to five minutes to allow it to work.
  4. Rinse well, making sure no shampoo remains on your scalp.

Use Capasal Shampoo one to two times a week, overusing the shampoo may lead to unwanted dryness or irritation.

Who Can Use Capasal Shampoo?

Most adults and children with stubborn dandruff or scalp conditions can use Capasal. However, if you have a known sensitivity to any of its ingredients, or if you experience worsening scalp irritation, discontinue use and speak to a healthcare professional. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should also check with their midwife or doctor before using any medicated shampoos.

This product is not intended for severe infections or open wounds. If you have signs of an infection on your scalp, such as pus or severe redness, consult your doctor before trying Capasal or any new hair products.

Side Effects

Although side effects are uncommon, some people may experience:

  1. Mild skin irritation, redness, or burning sensation.
  2. Excessive dryness if used too frequently.
  3. Allergic reactions, such as itching or rash, in very rare cases.

If you notice any new or lasting discomfort, reduce how often you use the shampoo or stop using it altogether. Seek medical advice if symptoms continue or worsen.
