Therapeutic shampoos and lotions

Abstract

Unsightly hair and scalp conditions may cause adult patients great concern, as will premature thinning of the hair and unusual hair loss. Young children may sporadically
suffer from infestation of head lice and require prompt and effective treatment while babies may develop cradle cap in
the first few weeks of life. It is important for the pharmacist and the pharmacist’s assistant to have a good
knowledge of the products that are available to treat minor hair and scalp conditions and to be able to advise their customers on how these products should be used.
