How Does it Work?

• Ciclopirox Olamine Shampoo is a specially designed liquid that brings together the therapeutic qualities of Ciclopirox Olamine with the cleansing and conditioning effects of a shampoo.
• The active compound, Ciclopirox Olamine, acts by blocking the growth of fungus on the scalp. This is by disrupting the process of DNA and RNA synthesis that is necessary for the growth and reproduction of the fungus. Disrupting the fungal cell’s function to reproduce results in its elimination from the scalp.
• It then starts to act, suppressing inflammation and soothing symptoms like itching, redness, and flaking that come with fungal infections. The shampoo product also serves to clean the scalp by stripping it of excess oil and dirt that can lead to fungal development.
• While treating the fungal infection, the shampoo conditions the hair and scalp as well. This prevents dryness and irritation, which are common with the use of medication shampoos.
