Product Introduction
FORFORA-Z Shampoo is a medicated antifungal shampoo formulated with two active ingredients: Ketoconazole 2% w/v and Zinc Pyrithione 1% w/v. This combination is designed to help manage dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis and fungal infections affecting the skin and scalp.
Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi responsible for certain scalp infections, while Zinc Pyrithione provides additional antifungal activity and helps control dandruff-associated microorganisms. Together, these ingredients support scalp hygiene and help reduce dandruff-related symptoms such as flaking and irritation.

How It Works
Ketoconazole 2% w/v
Ketoconazole is an imidazole antifungal agent. It inhibits the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, which is involved in ergosterol synthesis. Ergosterol is an essential component of fungal cell membranes.
By interfering with ergosterol production, Ketoconazole disrupts fungal cell membrane function and helps inhibit fungal growth.
Zinc Pyrithione 1% w/v
Zinc Pyrithione has antifungal and antimicrobial properties. It interferes with essential cellular processes in susceptible microorganisms, helping control fungi associated with dandruff and scalp conditions.
Combined Action
The combination provides complementary antifungal activity to help manage dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis and susceptible fungal infections affecting the scalp and skin.

Orders received after 12:00 PM (IST) will normally be processed for dispatch on the next working day, subject to product availability and order processing requirements.
Stock Availability
Same-day dispatch is subject to the availability of the ordered product at the applicable warehouse.
If a product is not available in stock and requires procurement, replenishment, or transfer from another location, dispatch may take additional time.
2. Sundays, National & Regional Holidays
iMEDICART does not provide regular order delivery services on Sundays.
Delivery and dispatch may also be affected or suspended on:
-
National holidays;
-
State and regional holidays;
-
Local holidays;
-
Festival holidays;
-
Holidays observed by the applicable courier, postal service, warehouse, or logistics partner; and
-
Other officially declared or operational non-working days.
If an estimated delivery or dispatch date falls on a Sunday, national holiday, regional/state holiday, festival holiday, or other applicable non-service day, the shipment may be processed or delivered on the next available working/service day.
The availability of delivery services may vary depending on the customer's location and the operating schedule of the applicable courier or postal service.
3. Domestic Delivery Time
The domestic delivery period is calculated from the date of dispatch, not from the date on which the order is placed.
Domestic orders are generally expected to be delivered within 2 to 10 working/service days from the date of dispatch, excluding Sundays and applicable non-service days.
The actual delivery time may vary depending upon:
-
Distance between the iMEDICART warehouse and the customer's delivery address;
-
Destination location and serviceability;
-
Courier or postal network conditions;
-
Sundays, national holidays, state/regional holidays, festival holidays, and local holidays;
-
Warehouse and logistics partner working schedules;
-
Weather conditions or unforeseen events;
-
Local delivery conditions;
-

-
Any delay caused by circumstances beyond iMEDICART's reasonable control.
Accordingly, the actual delivery time may vary from location to location.
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address and remaining available to receive the shipment or coordinating with the applicable courier/postal service when required.
4. International Order Processing & Dispatch
International orders may require additional documentation and verification before dispatch due to applicable shipping, customs, postal, regulatory, or destination-country requirements.
International orders will generally be dispatched within a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 10 days after order confirmation, subject to completion of required processing and documentation.
Where applicable, iMEDICART may request documents such as:
-
Passport or other acceptable identity document;
-
Government-issued ID proof;
-
Customer identification or verification information; and
-
Any other documentation reasonably required for international shipment processing or customs purposes.
The dispatch timeline may be affected if the required information or documentation is not provided promptly.
5. Failure to Provide Requested Documents
If a customer does not provide requested identification or other documentation within a reasonable period, iMEDICART may, where legally and operationally permissible, proceed with dispatch without such documentation.
However, the customer acknowledges that the absence of requested documentation may result in the shipment being delayed, held, returned, or subject to additional verification by the courier, postal authority, customs authority, or other competent authority.
In such circumstances, iMediCart shall not be responsible for delays or consequences arising from the customer's failure to provide requested documentation, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
6. International Delivery Time & Customs Clearance
International delivery timelines are dependent upon the customs clearance process and the postal/courier network in the destination country.
If the shipment clears all applicable customs procedures without delay, international delivery is generally expected to take approximately 10 to 30 days from the date of dispatch.
However, customs clearance is controlled by the relevant customs authorities and is outside iMediCart's direct control.
If a shipment is held, inspected, delayed, or otherwise affected by customs or other authorities, delivery may take substantially longer. In exceptional cases, an international shipment may take up to 90 days or longer, depending upon the circumstances and applicable procedures.
Therefore, the stated international delivery timeline is an estimated timeframe and not an absolute guarantee.
International shipments may also be affected by national holidays, regional holidays, festival holidays, local holidays, and non-working days in India or the destination country, as well as holidays observed by the applicable courier, postal service, customs authority, or logistics partner.
7. International Customs Delays, Holds & Returns
Once an international shipment has been dispatched and handed over to the applicable courier, postal service, or shipping carrier, customs clearance is the responsibility of the relevant customs authorities in the destination country.
iMEDICART will make reasonable efforts to assist customers with available shipment and tracking information. However, iMediCart cannot control:
-
Customs inspection or examination;
-
Customs clearance timelines;
-
Import restrictions;
-
Documentation requirements imposed by destination-country authorities;
-
Import duties or taxes;
-
Delays caused by customs authorities;
-
Local postal or courier delays;
-
National, regional, state, festival, or local holidays; or
-
Other actions or requirements imposed by governmental or regulatory authorities.
Where a shipment is held by customs, the customer may be required to provide additional information, documentation, payment of applicable duties/taxes, or other requirements imposed by the destination-country authorities.

iMEDICART.com charges the customer for the applicable product cost, Indian customs clearance (where applicable), and international shipping charges as specified at the time of purchase.
Any customs duties, import taxes, VAT/GST, handling charges, clearance charges, or other charges imposed by the destination country are the responsibility of the customer unless expressly stated otherwise at the time of purchase.
Such charges are not included in the payment made to iMEDICART unless specifically mentioned in the order.

10. Tracking & Shipment Updates
Once an order is dispatched, tracking information may be provided to the customer through the applicable courier or postal service.
Tracking updates may not appear immediately after dispatch and may take some time to be reflected in the carrier's system.
For international shipments, tracking information may also be limited or temporarily unavailable while the shipment is undergoing customs processing or being transferred between postal/courier networks.

Where re-dispatch is reasonably possible and permitted, iMEDICART may re-dispatch the order subject to applicable shipping and regulatory requirements.
