In general, a ';medicated'; dose is one that provides a certain effect with a certain level of safety and side effects. Sometimes companies release ';prescription strength'; over the counter after a while because they found that the dose was basically safe enough for people to buy without a doctor's supervision. With that said, just look at the active ingredients. Maybe they use the same dose of the same ingredient; if so they should work exactly the same. Since it's only a dollar or two, I say give it a try and see if it works any better. If you've talked to your doc about the current product you use, it might be worth the time to ask about the new one. Personally I'd just say give it a try and see if it's better.

Non-medicated Dandruff Shampoo?
Hello, I am almost 11 weeks pregnant and I have a very dry scalp, and always have. My OB told me it was safe to use a non-medicated dandruff shampoo, I have been using head and shoulders but can't figure out for the life of me if that is considered non-medicated or not. Can anyone help?Non-medicated Dandruff Shampoo?
There should be no harm with this remedy. To keep dandruff away, take a tablespoon of lemon juice with 2 tablespoon of coconut oil, massage it well on scalp and hair regularly.Wash your hair with warm water.

zinc pyrithione is the active ingredient in head and shoulders, though I am not sure if it is considered a medicated shampoo. Nizoral contains an anti fungal called Ketoconazole, which is a medicated shampoo. I would recommend talking to your doctor about what she would suggest in your case.
head and shoulders is not medicated dont worry
this is medicated and is what ur docs on about.

My shih tzu scratches & lick all over his body all day long. we tried medicated shampoo etc but does not work.
my shih tzu dog scratches %26amp; lick non stop all day %26amp; night. tried applying medication, medicated shampoo etc etc but it does not work pls help!My shih tzu scratches %26amp; lick all over his body all day long. we tried medicated shampoo etc but does not work.
Your dog could have allergies. People cough and sneeze when they have allergy problems, pets itch. There is blood testing to determine if this is a problem. The test could tell you what type of things he may be allergic to and hopefully you could help him avoid these things.My shih tzu scratches %26amp; lick all over his body all day long. we tried medicated shampoo etc but does not work.
mine does that everytime we go to bed , she will lick and lick herself and finally stop !! I guess she's cleaning herself ! cause nothing else is wrong with her !!
it's probably allergies. some dogs get them really bad. usually a vet Will give dogs either a cortisone shot or some prednisone to take when it's bad.
i would take your dog to a vet, it can be a sign of a bigger problem.
I'm assuming you are treating him for fleas.
Collars, sprays and powders don't work. Neither do the ';spot on'; treatments at pet stores. Go to a vet and get Advantage.
While you're there have the doctor give you advise.
Change the dogs food. Wheat and corn cause skin problems.
I don't know what to tell you here. I never had this problem or ever knew of this problem with Shih Tzu.. I guess the best bet would seek advice from your vet..They can give him an itch shot. They are better equip to answer your question after they examine your dog. I would try that first.
It could be an allergy problem but only the vet can diagnoze for sure and offer medication.
Do you feed your dog only dog food? dogs show allergies in their skin when fed people food so she could be having a huge allergy problem right now, thats what it sounds like and the more she itches the more chance she has of getting an infection. take her to the vet and they will give her an allergy shot. Or try baby benadryl depending on her size check the dosage, it might help. my vet suggested it.windows media player

I found moving head lice on my 7 year old. Treated her with medicated shampoo.?
After shampooing I used the small toothed comb. I got about 20-30 moving head lice out of her hair. Shouldn't the medicated shampoo killed off the head lice? I brushed her hair for over an hour, but I am afraid there are still some on her head. What should I do now?I found moving head lice on my 7 year old. Treated her with medicated shampoo.?
Make sure that you're using the product correctly. You may not have left it on for long enough, or you may need multiple treatments. Lice products are much like flea sprays for animals- they usually work over an extended time period.
http://www.ridlice.com/faqs.html
Also make sure that you're eliminating the lice around the house to prevent re infestation.
People used to put gasoline on people's hair (bad idea), but I know that an effective treatment for lice (in addition to the lice shampoo), is to pour tea tree oil on the scalp and comb through with a lice pick. You can find it at a vitamin store or in the vitamin aisle. It smells, but it dries out nits and kills lice pretty effectively.

You must also treat bedding and stuffed animals. You can purchase spray for the bedding, but the best treatment for the stuffed animals in to place them in giant garbage bags for a couple of weeks. Another thing you can do for the hair is to dye it. The chemicals with kill the eggs and bugs. I did this with my daughter when she was younger and it seemed to work better than even the shampoo from the doctors. You can easily find a dye that matches your child's natural hair color.
if you have time, put conditioner in her hair, and comb it through thoroughly. The conditioner disables the lice, and allows you to remove them. Also treat with medicated lotion or shampoo from pharmacy, to get rid of nits, which will otherwise hatch and continue the cycle.
after you shampoo ..use the lice comb and get all the nits off ( nits are sticky egg sacs attached to strands of hair containing zillions of offspring) If you dont get them all they hatch....Also they live in fabric..in your car on stuffed animal rugs hats halloween masks..couched ..treat everything. A hot dryer will kill the nits ..toss what you can in the dryer
usually the medicated rinse makes so the eggs dont hatch, eventually the nits will die off but you have to be persistent with the combing, shampoo and sterilizing bed sheets etc.
dear
try the old dadima method of telling stories during bedtime putting her on ur lap n handpicking them. its slow but manages the prob completely .
iam sure it'll work
shave all her hair, this is the only way to really get rid of them. but you'll find out.
