Application to the skin or scalp may produce irritation or sensitisation, sometimes described as a burning sensation. Rarely, blistering can occur, especially if the shampoo is kept in contact with the skin for longer than the recommended duration. An increase in the amount of normal hair loss can occur. Discoloration of the hair may occur; this can be avoided or minimised by thorough washing of the hair after treatment. As with other shampoos, oiliness or dryness of hair and scalp may occur. Non-specific allergic reactions, including rash and urticaria, have been reported rarely

It has activity against certain dermatophytes including Pityrosporum orbiculare, the organism causing pityriasis versicolor (tinea versicolor).
