Medicinal Benefits of Divahair Shampoo

KETOCONAZOLE+ZINC PYRITHIONE is a combination of two antifungal drugs namely Ketoconazole and Pyrithione 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). The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. KETOCONAZOLE+ZINC PYRITHIONE causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thereby, clears fungal infection and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
