Scalpe Plus Shampoo 60 ml is a combination of two antifungal drugs, namely Ketoconazole and Zinc, that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on face, scalp, chest, upper back or ears). It also treats pain and inflammation associated with dandruff and helps in relieving scalp itching and redness. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Scalpe Plus Shampoo 60 ml causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thus, it clears fungal infections and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
