Shampoo for dandruff Nizoral

The main ingredient of the drug under consideration is ketoconazole. This substance has a wide range of action against various types of fungi, while it produces both a fungicidal and a fungiostatic effect.

Shampoo Nizoral in case of pityriasis and seborrhea

Most women who have tried the drug in the treatment of dandruff, consider it very effective and fast. There is an excellent result after the second use, the improvement of the scalp. As the reviews show, from dandruff due to seborrheic dermatitis or eczema Nizoral helps only well in combination with tablets and a special cream of the same series.

As for the multi-colored and pity-like lichen, opinions diverge. In many cases, you have to take corticosteroid hormones and apply an ointment or cream with a similar composition. The described shampoo allows you to get rid of unpleasant symptoms of the disease, such as itching, flaking, redness, but has no noticeable therapeutic effect. Therefore, in the treatment of lichen, it is recommended to use Nizoral only as an additional measure, and the main focus is on systemic drugs.
