What is Lupizol ZS Anti Dandruff Shampoo used for?

Lupizol ZS Anti Dandruff Shampoo is primarily used to treat dandruff, a scalp condition characterized by dry, itchy, white flakes of skin. It also helps in providing relief from itchy scalp, flaky scalp, seborrheic dermatitis, and various fungal infections of the scalp.

How does Lupizol ZS Anti Dandruff Shampoo work?

This shampoo works through a combination of three active ingredients: Luliconazole, Zinc pyrithione, and Salicylic acid. Luliconazole damages the cell membranes of fungi, thereby killing the fungi responsible for dandruff. Zinc pyrithione inhibits fungal growth by causing fungal cells to absorb copper, which deactivates their protein mechanisms, and also possesses antibacterial properties. Salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic agent, breaking down keratin to remove dead skin cells, softening the scalp, reducing oil production, and keeping pores open. It also enhances the penetration of the antifungal agents.

What is the usual dosage for Lupizol ZS Anti Dandruff Shampoo?

The shampoo should be used as advised by your doctor or according to the instructions on the label. Typically, you would wet your hair thoroughly, apply a prescribed amount to the scalp, lather it, and leave it on for a few minutes (e.g., 3-5 minutes) before rinsing thoroughly. For initial treatment, it may be used 2-3 times per week for 2-4 weeks, and then reduced to once a week for maintenance, as directed by a healthcare professional. Avoid leaving the shampoo on for too long, as prolonged contact may cause irritation or a burning sensation.
