Product Information
The Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (200ml) is a highly effective, therapeutic shampoo primarily used to treat and manage dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and scaling of the scalp. Unlike many cosmetic anti-dandruff shampoos, Nizoral uses a potent medicinal ingredient to address the root cause of the condition.
Here is a long description detailing its key features and medical action:
???? Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (200ml)
Key Active Ingredient
The therapeutic effectiveness of this shampoo comes from its active ingredient:
Ketoconazole 1%: Ketoconazole is a powerful, broad-spectrum antifungal agent. Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are often caused by the overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia globosa (formerly Pityrosporum ovale), which feeds on scalp oils. Ketoconazole controls and reduces the population of this fungus.
Medical Action & Benefits
Treats the Root Cause: By targeting and inhibiting the growth of the Malassezia fungus, Nizoral treats the underlying cause of flaking, scaling, and itching, rather than just washing away the flakes.
Controls Flaking & Itching: Provides rapid and effective relief from the persistent flaking, scaling, and intense itching associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.
Prevents Recurrence: Used regularly (as directed), it helps maintain control over the fungal population, significantly reducing the recurrence of severe dandruff symptoms.
Long-Lasting Efficacy: Due to the medicinal nature of Ketoconazole, its effects can often last longer than those of non-medicated anti-dandruff treatments.
Ideal For
Individuals suffering from persistent, moderate to severe dandruff.
Those diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp.
Users who have found other OTC (over-the-counter) anti-dandruff shampoos (like those with Pyrithione Zinc) to be ineffective.
How to Use (Typical Directions)
Treatment Phase: Typically used twice a week for a short duration (e.g., 2 to 4 weeks) until symptoms are controlled.
Maintenance Phase: Once symptoms clear, it is often recommended to use the shampoo once every 1 to 2 weeks to prevent the recurrence of dandruff.
Application:
Wet hair thoroughly.
Apply a small amount of the shampoo to the scalp.
Lather well, ensuring the product contacts the entire affected scalp area.
Leave the shampoo on the scalp for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the Ketoconazole to penetrate and work.
Rinse thoroughly.
Important Notes
This is a medicinal product. Always follow the specific directions provided on the packaging or by a healthcare professional.
