About Cwin Shampoo

Cwin Shampoo is an antifungal medication primarily used to treat seborrhoeic dermatitis (a fungal infection of the scalp characterised by dandruff, flaking, redness, and itching).

Cwin Shampoo contains Ciclopirox and Zinc pyrithione, which work together to stop the growth of fungi, reduce inflammation, and slow excess skin cell production on the scalp. As a result, Cwin Shampoo helps clear the fungal infection and reduce dandruff, flaking, and irritation.

Cwin Shampoo is for external use only. Use Cwin Shampoo exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as instructed on the label. In some cases, Cwin Shampoo may cause side effects, including itching, irritation, or a burning sensation at the site of application. Please consult your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.

How Cwin Shampoo Works

Cwin Shampoo contains two antifungal medications: Ciclopirox and Zinc pyrithione. • Ciclopirox: It kills fungi by blocking key enzymes required for their survival, damaging their cell structure, and disrupting cell division. • Zinc pyrithione: It inhibits fungal growth by damaging essential proteins and weakening the cell membrane, while also reducing inflammation and slowing excess skin cell buildup on the scalp. • Together, they help treat seborrhoeic dermatitis and reduce dandruff, flaking, and irritation.
