Medicine Description nizapex-shampoo 80 ml
Nizapex Shampoo is a medication that contains ketoconazole, an antifungal agent belonging to the imidazole class. Its primary mechanism of action involves inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting ergosterol production, ketoconazole compromises the integrity of the fungal cell membrane, leading to cell lysis and death. This action effectively targets the fungi responsible for scalp conditions, reducing symptoms such as itching, irritation, and inflammation. Additionally, ketoconazole possesses anti-inflammatory properties that contribute to alleviating symptoms associated with scalp disorders.
