NIZRAL 2% – 1 TUBE OF 50ML

Description

NIZRAL 2% Solution contains Ketoconazole, a potent antifungal agent that inhibits the growth of fungi by interfering with their cell membrane formation. This solution is highly effective against a wide range of fungal infections, including those affecting the scalp and skin. It’s particularly useful for treating dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and tinea infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. With regular use, NIZRAL 2% Solution not only alleviates symptoms but also helps prevent the recurrence of infections.

Usage Instructions:
Clean the Affected Area: Wash and dry the affected area before application.
Apply the Solution: Apply a small amount of NIZRAL 2% Solution to the affected area, ensuring even coverage.
Follow a Regular Schedule: Use the solution as directed by your healthcare provider, typically once daily.

Medicinal Advantages:
Broad-Spectrum Antifungal: Effective against a wide variety of fungal infections.
Rapid Symptom Relief: Quickly reduces itching, redness, and irritation.
Prevents Recurrence: Helps in preventing the recurrence of fungal infections with regular use.

Mechanism of Action:
Ketoconazole, the active ingredient in NIZRAL 2% Solution, works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption weakens the cell membrane, leading to the death of the fungus. The solution is designed for topical application, ensuring that it targets the site of infection directly, providing effective and localized treatment.
