Nizoder Shampoo 2% contains Ketoconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent used to treat and control fungal infections of the scalp. It is specially formulated to manage conditions such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and pityriasis versicolor affecting the scalp. With its clinically proven antifungal action, Nizoder Shampoo helps relieve itching, flaking, scaling, and redness associated with these common scalp disorders.

Fungal overgrowth, particularly of Malassezia species, is one of the primary causes of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting the integrity of the fungal cell wall, it effectively eliminates the fungus and prevents further growth. This targeted action not only reduces visible flakes but also addresses the underlying cause of the condition.

Nizoder Shampoo 2% is designed for topical use on the scalp. Its gentle cleansing base ensures effective distribution of the active ingredient while maintaining scalp hygiene. With regular use, it helps restore a healthy scalp environment and reduces the recurrence of symptoms.

Mechanism of Action

Ketoconazole belongs to the imidazole class of antifungal agents. It works by inhibiting fungal cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in ergosterol synthesis. Ergosterol is a vital component of fungal cell membranes. When its production is blocked, the cell membrane becomes unstable, leading to fungal cell death. This mechanism effectively reduces fungal colonization and controls inflammation associated with scalp infections.
