Nizoral, medicated shampoo 2% 120 ml

Pharmacodynamics

Ketoconazole, a synthetic imidazole-dioxolane derivative, has antifungal action against dermatophytes such as Trichophyton sp, Epider-mophyton sp., Microsporum sp., and yeasts such as Candida sp. and Malassezia furfur (Pityrosporum ovale).

Ketoconazole shampoo quickly reduces the flaking and itching usually associated with dandruff, seborrheic eczema and pityriasis.

Pharmacokinetics

Ketoconazole absorption through the skin when used topically is negligible.

Since even with long-term use ketoconazole content in blood is not determined, we can conclude that the drug has no systemic action.

Indications

Treatment and prevention of skin lesions caused by the yeast-like microorganisms Malassezia furfur (Pityrosporum ovale), such as dandruff and peptic ulcer (localized).
