Medicine Description head-and-shoulders-apple-fresh-anti-dandruff-shampoo
head and shoulders apple fresh anti-dandruff shampoo is a medication that primarily utilizes zinc pyrithione as its active component.

This action helps to reduce the population of Malassezia, a type of yeast that is often associated with dandruff. The formulation also includes cleansing agents that help remove flakes and build-up from the scalp, while conditioning agents work to keep the hair moisturized, preventing dryness that can occur with frequent washing.
