What is seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp in adults?3,4
Seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp is a common skin disorder that can be easily treated. The symptoms can include flaking, itching, scaling, redness and hair loss. In some cases, patches can become painful, form crusts, and drain fluid or pus. Often there are extended inactive periods followed by flare-ups. Seborrheic dermatitis is sometimes labeled as dandruff, but there are differences, including potential therapies. Dandruff causes scaling on the scalp, but not redness. Seborrheic dermatitis causes both redness and scaling. LOPROX is not used to treat dandruff.

How can LOPROX Shampoo Help with Seborrheic Dermatitis of the Scalp?1,3
There is no cure for seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp, but LOPROX Shampoo can be used in adult patients to topically treat it. Use the medication for seborrheic dermatitis for the full treatment time even though symptoms may have improved. Notify your doctor if there is no improvement after 4 weeks.

How do you use LOPROX Shampoo?1
LOPROX Shampoo should be used twice per week, for four weeks, with a minimum of 3 days between applications. Wet hair and apply approximately 1 teaspoon of LOPROX Shampoo to the scalp. Lather and leave the LOPROX Shampoo on your hair and scalp three minutes before rinsing. When rinsing, make sure to avoid contact with your eyes. If your seborrheic dermatitis does not appear to get better after 4 weeks of using LOPROX Shampoo, contact your doctor. You should also consult your doctor right away if you experience side effects such as burning, redness, itching, rash, or other discomfort around the scalp.

In 626 patients treated with LOPROX Shampoo twice weekly in the two pivotal clinical studies, the most frequent adverse events were increased itching in 1% of patients, and application site reactions, such as burning, erythema, and itching, also in 1% of patients. Other adverse events occurred in individual patients only.1
