Nizral 2% Solution contains ketoconazole (2%), which has the following effects:

• Interference with Fungal Cell Membrane: Ketoconazole works by disrupting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an integral component of fungal cell membranes. This interference increases membrane permeability and leakage of cellular contents, thereby inhibiting fungal growth and reproduction.

• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: In addition to its antifungal activity, ketoconazole also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. These properties assist in relieving symptoms associated with fungal skin infections such as itching, redness, and scaling.

• Store this solution below 30°C.

• Keep it away from direct heat and light.

• Ensure that the lid is tightly secured after each use to prevent exposure to air.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Remember to use this solution before its expiry date.

• If you're managing dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis with Nizral 2% Solution, consider incorporating foods rich in vitamin B and omega-3 fatty acids into your diet. These can promote healthy skin and scalp.

• For those dealing with tinea infections such as athlete's foot and ringworm, try to keep the affected areas as dry as possible. Avoid wearing tight shoes or clothing that can create a moist environment favourable for fungal growth.
