Medicine Description nizapex 20 mg
nizapex hair shampoo 20 mg is a medication that utilizes ketoconazole as its active ingredient, which functions as an antifungal agent. Ketoconazole disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, by inhibiting the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase. This disruption leads to increased membrane permeability and eventual cell death of the fungi. In addition to antifungal properties, ketoconazole also possesses anti-inflammatory effects, which help alleviate symptoms associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. The inclusion of jojoba oil provides moisture and nourishment to the hair and scalp, enhancing the overall health of the hair while combating dryness often associated with dandruff.
