How does Ketoconazole work?
The active ingredient of Nizral 2 Shampoo, i.e., Ketoconazole, works in the following ways:
- Damaging fungal cell membrane: Ketoconazole initiates its mechanism by disrupting the ergosterol, an integral part of the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell may not be able to survive as it causes an increased membrane permeability and leaking of the cellular content. Thus preventing fungal growth and ultimately killing it
- Anti-inflammatory action: Ketoconazole exhibits anti-inflammatory action in addition to its antifungal activity. It alleviates the itching or redness associated with fungal skin inflammation
