CONAZ Lotion (Ketoconazole 2%): Treat Scalp Fungal Infections
CONAZ Lotion: Effective Treatment for Scalp Fungal Infections #
CONAZ Lotion is a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent. It is specifically formulated to treat fungal infections affecting the scalp, such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp).
How Does CONAZ Work? #
Ketoconazole, the active ingredient in CONAZ Lotion, works by preventing the growth of fungi. It does this by interfering with the formation of ergosterol, a crucial component of the fungal cell membrane. This action weakens the fungal cells, leading to their destruction and clearing the infection.
What Scalp Conditions Does CONAZ Treat? #
CONAZ Lotion is effective in treating various fungal infections of the scalp, including:
- Dandruff: A common condition characterized by flaking and itching of the scalp.
- Seborrheic Dermatitis: A chronic skin condition that causes redness, scaling, and flaking on the scalp and other oily areas of the body.
- Tinea Capitis: A fungal infection of the scalp that can cause hair loss and scaling.
