BLUECAP 75ML SHAMPOO

Introduction:

Bluecap 75ml Shampoo consists of the active ingredients Zinc pyrithione and Menthol. It is indicated to treat severe dandruff. Dandruff is a scalp condition associated with abnormal flake production in the scalp. Seborrheic dermatitis is a condition of flaking, scaling, rashes and inflammation. While dandruff is usually confined to the scalp, Seborrheic dermatitis affects the scalp, face, chest and other areas that produce sweat.

Uses of Bluecap 75ml Shampoo:

• Treatment of severe dandruff caused by Malassezia species.
• Treatment of seborrheic dermatitis
• Treatment of scalp pruritus

How Bluecap 75ml Shampoo Works:

Zinc pyrithione inhibits proton pump-mediated membrane transport through inhibition of membrane depolarization. It inactivates iron-sulfur protein within the cell of the fungus by reversibly binding to copper and inhibits the growth of fungus. Menthol activates transient receptor potential melastatin 8 that generates a cooling sensation in the scalp and alleviates pruritus and itching.

Interaction with other drugs:

Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking or have taken before the treatment.

More Information:

Keep the shampoo out of sight and reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse eyes completely with water.
