April 2005 in “World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences” The study focused on designing and evaluating fluconazole-loaded antidandruff hair gel as a treatment for dandruff, a condition affecting nearly 50% of the population due to fungal and bacterial growth on the scalp. Traditional treatments like shampoos and lotions, which contain imidazole, selenium sulphide, salicylic acid, and zinc pyrithione, were noted for their short duration of action and inability to prevent recurrence. The research aimed to develop a hair gel formulation that would remain longer on the scalp, potentially offering a more effective and lasting solution for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.
