Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Treatment 2% is a topical shampoo containing 2% ketoconazole, an antifungal agent. It is used to treat and prevent skin infections caused by the fungus malassezia, which can lead to conditions such as dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis, and tinea versicolor. The product is manufactured by DermNet New Zealand and comes in a 100ml bottle. The active ingredient, ketoconazole, works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes, thereby killing the fungus and relieving symptoms like itching and scaling. The shampoo also contains other ingredients such as sodium lauryl ether sulphate, disodium monolauryl ether sulphosuccinate, and purified water.
