The role of ketoconazole 2% shampoo in the treatment and prophylactic management of dandruff

In the 1990 study, a double-blind comparative analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of ketoconazole 2% shampoo versus selenium sulphide in treating dandruff. The study found that both treatments were effective. However, it was noted that the ketoconazole shampoo had the additional benefit of reducing hair greasiness. The specific number of participants involved in the study was not provided in the summary, so the strength of the study cannot be assessed based on the size of the study population.
