Medicinal Benefits
Salidex Lotion is primarily used to treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin on the scalp). It contains ketoconazole (antifungal) and salicylic acid (keratoplastic). Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that works by preventing the growth of dandruff-causing fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Salicylic acid belongs to a class of drugs known as keratoplastics. It works by removing dead cells from the skin’s top layer and slowing the growth of skin cells. It reduces scaling and dryness, thereby relieving itching associated with dandruff.
