How Dandrex Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 100 ml Works

Dandrex Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 100 ml is a combination of three drugs: Luliconazole, Zinc pyrithione, and Salicylic acid. • Luliconazole works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival and kills fungi that cause dandruff. • Zinc pyrithione stops fungal growth by making fungal cells absorb copper, which inactivates protein mechanisms in cells. • Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that works by breaking down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells, and softens skin. Thus, Dandrex Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 100 ml helps to treat dandruff and provide relief from flaky and itchy scalp.
