K2-Ziv Shampoo Reviews
K2-Ziv is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need it will not clear your condition faster and may only increase the side effects. Make sure not to leave it on the scalp for more than 5 minutes. If it gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth rinse it with water.
K2-Ziv is usually safe, however, it may cause burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and self-limiting. Serious side effects are rare.

The medicine is not recommended for pregnant women. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctors before using K2-Ziv.
