Capex Shampoo (fluocinolone acetonide) topical shampoo, 0.01% is a unique corticosteroid treatment in a shampoo-delivery system created to effectively treat inflammatory diseases of the scalp, such as itch and dandruff associated with seborrheic dermatitis (SD). When used every day for two weeks, Capex Shampoo treats inflammatory diseases related to SD. Some Capex Shampoo side effects have been reported infrequently in people who have used topical steroids, such as inflammation, burning, itching and irritation.

*no tar or sulfur smell
*easy application: once a day for five minutes (for first two weeks)
*low incidence of side effects
*reduction of inflammation, itching and scaling
Directions to use Capex Shampoo:
1. Shake Capex Shampoo bottle well.
2. Wet the hair and scalp thoroughly, apply sufficient amount of Capex Shampoo, and massage into the scalp. (Please note that this product does not contain drying detergents and therefore produces minimal lathering.)
3. Allow Capex Shampoo to remain on the scalp for five minutes. (Note: It is important to keep the shampoo on for five minutes for effective treatment.)
4. Rinse thoroughly with water. Conditioner is not necessary.
5. Repeat these instructions daily for two weeks. Following the initial two weeks, one treatment per week is usually sufficient to keep the itching and flaking of dandruff from returning. Consult your physician.
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common, chronic condition that produces red, itchy scales in areas of the skin where there are many sebaceous glands, such as the scalp, eyebrows, chest, nose, ears and armpits. The scaling and flaking of SD is caused by an excessive growth of surface cells. The scales of SD may be powdery and dry, or moist and greasy, and at times they may ooze. If left untreated, the scales may become thick, yellow and greasy and, occasionally, a secondary bacterial infection may occur. Dandruff causes a dry, powdery white flaking of the scalp, often accompanied by itching. SD is also itchy and flaky, but the scalp is inflamed and red. When SD occurs during infancy, it is also called "cradle cap" because it usually occurs around the scalp and ears. Symptoms may also be present in the diaper region or any bent surface areas.
People with seborrheic dermatitis (SD) can live normal, healthy lives. Although currently there is no cure for the disease, it can be kept under control so that the embarrassing scaling is minimized. Treatment for SD varies, depending on the affected areas and the severity of the condition. The most simple treatment involves the use of medicated and anti-dandruff shampoos to control the itching and scaling. Mild-to-severe cases can be treated with medicated prescription shampoos such as Capex Shampoo (fluocinolone acetonide) topical shampoo, 0.01%, which is a topical steroid. Some side effects have been reported infrequently in people who have used topical steroids, such as inflammation, burning, itching and irritation. Use Capex Shampoo to reduce flaking and dryness. Use Capex Shampoo daily for two weeks, and then use once a week to control symptoms.
Infants (cradle cap):
Gently rub mineral oil on the scalp to help loosen the scales. Wash the baby's head gently with a non-medicated baby shampoo. This can be done every day. Careful and gentle washing will not hurt the baby. Brush the baby's hair gently with a soft brush to eliminate the scales.
