How Ketoconazole + Pyrithione Zinc works

  • Ketoconazole inhibits the growth of fungi that contribute to these scalp conditions by disrupting their cell membranes.
  • Zinc pyrithione has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various fungi, gram-positive bacteria, and gram-negative bacteria. It helps regulate the production of sebum, a natural oil secreted by the scalp, reducing oiliness that can contribute to dandruff.
  • Their combined action effectively treats fungal infections on the scalp while addressing other factors contributing to dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.
