Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

The pharmacological action of the shampoo is due to the properties of its active substances:

• ketoconazole is a synthetic imidazole-dioxolane derivative with antifungal activity against the yeast-like fungi Candida spp. and Malassezia furfur (Pityrosporum ovale), as well as dermatophytes Epidermophyton spp., Trichophyton spp. and Microsporum spp.;
• zinc pyrithione is a complex compound that has an antiproliferative effect on epithelial cells and exhibits antifungal activity against the fungi Pityrosporum orbiculare and Pityrosporum ovale, which cause excessive skin peeling.

Keto Plus quickly reduces the itching and flaking of the scalp that usually accompany seborrheic dermatitis.
