Nizoral Shampoo 100 ml

Nizoral 2% Shampoo is a dermatological antifungal treatment formulated for the management and prophylaxis of scalp and cutaneous conditions linked to yeasts of the genus Malassezia (Pityrosporum). Powered by Ketoconazole (2% w/v), a broad-spectrum synthetic imidazole derivative, it inhibits fungal cytochrome, arresting the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol. This destabilizes the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell lysis and prompt suppression of scaling, erythema, and intense pruritus associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Packaged in a 100 ml bottle, it delivers targeted clinical efficacy with minimal systemic absorption.

Key Benefits

• Targets the Etiological Cause: Eradicates Malassezia overgrowth, addressing the underlying fungal trigger of dandruff rather than merely stripping loose scales.

• Rapid Pruritus & Erythema Relief: Swiftly soothes scalp inflammation, persistent itching, and scaling within the first 1 to 2 weeks.

• Dual Action (Treatment & Prophylaxis): Highly effective for acute clearance as well as long-term maintenance to prevent relapse.

• Non-Stripping Surfactant System: Formulated with foaming agents that cleanse the hair and scalp without causing extreme follicular brittleness.

• Broad Cutaneous Utility: Clinically indicated for scalp seborrheic dermatitis and pityriasis capitis (dandruff), as well as localized patches of pityriasis versicolor on the trunk.
