plain regular shampoo should be used daily ... and... ketoconazole shampoo should be used on alternate days after washing with regular shampoo because superficial oil n dirt will be removed with regular this way regular shampoo will help medicated shampoo to provide maximum benefit to the scalp with medication in it.
