Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: It is not advisable to take tablet continuously from 06 years

Explanation: Dandruff is a fungal infection of scalp. So, to reduce it you can use Ketoconazole shampoo once in a week. Some times it may be due to psoriasis. So, please visit a doctor for examination.
