MG217 Psoriasis Shampoo is a medicated .5% coal tar shampoo and conditioner designed to help control scalp psoriasis symptoms such as itching, scaling, flaking, and buildup while conditioning the hair.

This 8 fl oz bottle from MG217 combines a low-odor coal tar formulation with conditioning agents to cleanse and soften the scalp. Formulated to slow excess skin cell turnover, the product is also commonly used for seborrheic dermatitis and other dry scalp conditions. The shampoo is recognized by dermatology resources as a topical coal tar option for scalp issues and is intended for routine use on affected areas.

How does MG217 Psoriasis Shampoo address itching and flaking?

The .5% coal tar ingredient works to reduce the rate of excess skin cell production on the scalp, which helps decrease visible flakes and the urge to scratch. Conditioning components in the formula also soothe and soften the scalp surface to improve overall comfort.

• Contains .5% coal tar to help slow skin cell turnover
• Low-odor formulation for everyday use
• Conditioning agents that reduce dryness and make hair easier to manage

When and how should I use this medicated shampoo?

Use as directed on the bottle, typically applying to wet hair, massaging into the scalp, and allowing contact time for the active ingredient to work before rinsing. Frequency can vary by individual need; some people use it several times a week while others use it less often based on symptom control.

• Apply to wet scalp, lather, and leave on for recommended minutes
• Rinse thoroughly and follow with the conditioning step included in the formula
• Adjust frequency according to symptom improvement and physician guidance

What benefits does the conditioning formula provide alongside coal tar?
