Description

Candidox Shampoo is a medicated antifungal and anti-dandruff shampoo developed with the powerful combination of Ciclopirox and Zinc Pyrithione. Ciclopirox is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that stops fungal growth by interfering with their vital cellular processes, while Zinc Pyrithione works as an antifungal and antibacterial agent that reduces scalp flaking, itching, and scaling.

This dual-action formula is specifically designed to combat dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and fungal infections of the scalp, providing relief from persistent itching, irritation, and flaking. It also restores scalp health, leaving hair clean, fresh, and manageable.
