About Dandrid Lotion 50 ml

Dandrid Lotion 50 ml belongs to the class of antidandruff agents used to treat dandruff. Dandruff is a scalp condition characterized by dry, itchy, white flakes of skin on the scalp. 

Dandrid Lotion 50 ml is a combination of two drugs, namely: Miconazole (antifungal) and Tinidazole (antibiotic). Miconazole works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival and kills fungi causing dandruff. Tinidazole works by damaging the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria and protozoa and inhibits the formation of new DNA. Thereby killing micro-organisms. Thus, Dandrid Lotion 50 ml helps to treat dandruff and provides relief from a flaky and itchy scalp.
