Description
ZECONZPTO shampoo, containing ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione, is primarily used to treat and manage dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, a fungal infection causing dry, flaky skin on the scalp and other parts of the body. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi that cause these conditions.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
-
-
Dandruff:ZECON ZPTO shampoo helps control dandruff, reducing scaly, flaky, and itchy scalps by preventing the growth of the fungus that causes it.
-
Seborrheic Dermatitis:It’s also used to manage seborrheic dermatitis, a condition that causes dry, flaky, or oily scaling on the scalp and other areas.
-
-
Mechanism:Ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione work together as antifungal agents. They alter the fungal cell membrane’s permeability, disrupting fungal growth and leading to cell death.
-
Application:The shampoo is typically applied to wet hair and scalp, massaged in to create lather, and left on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
-
Precautions:It’s crucial to avoid contact with the eyes, and if it gets in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. Netmeds also advises seeking medical advice for any side effects or worsening symptoms.
