Sebizole Shampoo

Uses
Sebizole Shampoo (Ketoconazole) is an antifungal that is used to treat fungal infections on the scalp that cause dandruff. Many people have also used it as part of a combination treatment for hair loss, as they believe that it may decrease inflammation of the hair follicles, which could lead to a reduction of the conditions which cause male pattern hair loss. The active component in this medicated shampoo is effective against a wide range of fungi that can cause infections, including histoplasma, candida, coccidioides and various others.
