This medication is contraindicated in children under 2 years of age and should not be used in minors under 18 years of age.

Other Medications and Ionil Shampoo

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medication.

The simultaneous use of coal tar with photosensitizing medications (which produce an allergic reaction to sunlight; for example: tetracyclines, psoralens such as methoxsalen or trioxsalen, tretinoin) may produce additive photosensitizing effects.

The effects of other keratolytic products (which reduce the thickness of the outer layer of the skin) applied to the same area may be enhanced.

Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Treatment with Ionil Shampoo is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Driving and Using Machines

Not applicable.

Ionyl Shampoo contains Benzalkonium Chloride

This medication contains 2 mg of benzalkonium chloride per gram of shampoo. Benzalkonium chloride may cause skin irritation.

Ionyl Shampoo contains Alcohol (Ethanol)

This medication contains 135 mg of alcohol (ethanol) per gram of shampoo. It may cause a burning sensation on damaged skin.

3. How to use Ionil Shampoo

If you use more Ionil Shampoo than you should

Ionyl Shampoo is for topical use only, exclusively on the hair. Excessive application for prolonged periods does not lead to faster or better results and may cause intense irritation. If this occurs, treatment should be discontinued. The appearance of necrosis (severe damage) of healthy skin has been associated with abuse of salicylic acid.

In case of accidental ingestion, nausea and vomiting occur.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or go to a medical center, or call the Toxicology Information Service, Phone: 91 5620420, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.
