How Flucos Lotion Works

Flucos Lotion is a combination of two antifungal medicines Fluconazole and Zinc Pyrithione that treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis: Fluconazoleworks by destrying the fungal cell membrane by blocking the formation of ergosterol, a major sterol found in the fungal plasma membrane. Zinc Pyrithione penetrates the fungal cell membrane, interfering with energy metabolism and oxygen intake. It also downregulates lipase genes, which are thought to play an important role in Malassezia pathogenesis.
