Why does the ketaconozole shampo leaflet advice to use it twice a week?will using it daily cause my scalp to adapt to it making the shampo useless?

No but not necessary: This anti-yeast shampoo helps less than half the people with dandruff. It was suppose to kill pitysporum yeast and this yeast was purportedly the cause of dandruff. It works best in HIV patients with a poor immune system.
