Ketoconazole and Pyrithione Zinc are commonly used in medicated shampoos and lotions to treat dandruff, a flaky scalp, itching, and conditions like seborrheic dermatitis. Ketoconazole is an antifungal medicine that kills the fungus causing dandruff, while Pyrithione Zinc helps control scalp irritation and flaking.

Ketoconazole works by stopping the growth of fungi on the scalp, reducing itching, scaling, and flaking. Pyrithione Zinc slows down the growth of skin cells and reduces scalp irritation. Together, they help restore a healthy scalp and prevent dandruff from coming back.

Mild side effects may include dryness, itching, irritation, or an unusual feeling on the scalp. Rarely, some people may develop allergic reactions such as redness, rash, or swelling. If irritation is severe or persistent, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
