Dosage and Administration

Mechanism of Action

Lucoz ZS Anti-Dandruff Shampoo works through a combination of its active ingredients. Luliconazole is an antifungal agent that helps to kill or inhibit the growth of fungi on the scalp, which can contribute to dandruff and other scalp conditions. Salicylic Acid acts as a keratolytic agent, helping to remove dead skin cells and exfoliate the scalp, reducing flaking and scaling. Zinc pyrithione has both antifungal and antibacterial properties, further aiding in the control of scalp conditions.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include scalp irritation, dryness, or a temporary increase in flaking. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as severe itching, burning, or rash, discontinue use and consult your healthcare professional.
