    Glossary pyrithione

    antifungal and antibacterial agent used in dandruff treatments

    Pyrithione, often referred to as zinc pyrithione, is an antifungal and antibacterial agent commonly used in over-the-counter dandruff shampoos and treatments. It works by inhibiting the growth of yeast and bacteria on the scalp, which can help reduce flaking, itching, and irritation associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.
