DailyMed ketoconazole shampoo leave on scalp 3 to 5 minutes
Quick answer
Do not apply a universal 3-to-5-minute rule to every ketoconazole shampoo. Match the DailyMed label to your strength and package, then follow its stated contact time and rinse instructions.

What the evidence can tell you
A product label describes ingredients and directions; it does not prove that the finished product has the same effects as an ingredient studied in a clinical trial. The record date above is not a claim that the label was checked today.
