Medicinal Benefits:

Saldan Shampoo is primarily used to treat dandruff and dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin on the scalp). Saldan Shampoo is composed of two medicines: 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 (thickens the keratin layers). It works by removing dead cells from the skin’s top layer and slowing down skin cells' growth. This effect decreases scaling and dryness, thus relieving itching and cracking related to dandruff.
