ZOYA Shampoo

• "ZOYA Shampoo: Revitalize Your Scalp with the Power of Ketoconazole!"
• ZOYA Shampoo, containing 2% Ketoconazole, is designed to treat dandruff and other scalp conditions effectively. 
• This antifungal shampoo alleviates itching and flaking, promoting healthy hair and scalp.

Use & Indications:

ZOYA Shampoo is a medicated shampoo formulated with 2% Ketoconazole, used to treat fungal infections on the scalp, including:

• Dandruff (Seborrheic Dermatitis): Effective in reducing dandruff caused by Malassezia yeast, which is a common cause of seborrheic dermatitis.
• Seborrheic Dermatitis: Helps in managing symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis, including itching, flaking, and irritation of the scalp.
• Tinea Capitis: Used in the treatment of tinea capitis (scalp ringworm), a fungal infection of the scalp.
• Fungal Infections: Assists in addressing other fungal infections of the scalp, promoting a healthier scalp environment.
• Pityriasis versicolor (a fungal infection that causes discolored patches of skin)
• General antifungal therapy for the scalp to reduce itching and scaling.

It can also be used to manage conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff caused by fungal overgrowth on the scalp.

Mechanism of Action:

• Ketoconazole, the active ingredient, is an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption weakens the membrane, leading to fungal cell death.
• It is effective against a broad spectrum of fungal organisms, including Malassezia species, which are commonly associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.

Side Effects:

Although ZOYA Shampoo is typically well-tolerated, some side effects may occur:

• Common side effects:
• Scalp irritation or itching
• Dryness or oily scalp
• Burning sensation or stinging at the site of application
• Less common but serious side effects:
• Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing)
• Hair loss (temporary)
• Contact dermatitis (skin irritation)

If side effects are severe or persist, consult a healthcare professional.

Contraindications:

• Hypersensitivity to Ketoconazole or any of the ingredients in the shampoo.
• Open wounds or damaged skin: Avoid applying to broken skin or areas with open sores.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Drug Interactions:

While ZOYA Shampoo is not absorbed systemically in significant amounts, potential interactions could arise with other medications if used on large areas of the skin or over prolonged periods. Some potential interactions may include:

• Corticosteroids: Concurrent use with topical steroids could lead to skin thinning.
• Cyclosporine: Topical ketoconazole may interact with cyclosporine, affecting the metabolism of the drug.
• Other antifungals: Concurrent use with systemic antifungals should be avoided unless prescribed by a healthcare provider.
