About Endruff-KZ Anti-Dandruff Lotion 75 ml

Endruff-KZ Anti-Dandruff Lotion 75 ml is primarily used to prevent fungal infections of the skin, like seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of dandruff that causes an itchy rash with dry, flaky scales on the skin that contains oil glands, such as the scalp, face, back, and upper chest.

Endruff-KZ Anti-Dandruff Lotion 75 ml contains ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione. It works by causing holes in the fungal cell membrane, which is essential for their survival, as it prevents the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents.
