LULICONAZOLE+ZINC PYRITHIONE+SALICYLIC ACID belongs to the class of antidandruff agents used to treat dandruff. Dandruff is a scalp condition characterized by dry, itchy, white flakes of skin on the scalp.
LULICONAZOLE+ZINC PYRITHIONE+SALICYLIC ACID is a combination of three drugs, namely: Luliconazole, Zinc pyrithione, and Salicylic acid. Luliconazole works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival and kills fungi that cause dandruff. Zinc pyrithione stops fungal growth by making fungal cells absorb copper, which inactivates protein mechanisms in cells. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that works by breaking down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells, and softens skin. Thus, LULICONAZOLE+ZINC PYRITHIONE+SALICYLIC ACID helps to treat dandruff and provide relief from flaky and itchy scalp.
LULICONAZOLE+ZINC PYRITHIONE+SALICYLIC ACID is for external use only. Some people may experience itching, stinging, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of LULICONAZOLE+ZINC PYRITHIONE+SALICYLIC ACID do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to LULICONAZOLE+ZINC PYRITHIONE+SALICYLIC ACID or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using LULICONAZOLE+ZINC PYRITHIONE+SALICYLIC ACID. Avoid scratching the scalp as it may worsen dandruff. Cover your head with a scarf or hat while going out. You are recommended to drink plenty of water as hydrating the body may reduce the number of flakes on the scalp, thus decreasing the appearance of dandruff.
