What is Ketoconazole?

Ketoconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that blocks the production of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This disrupts fungal growth, especially Malassezia, the yeast responsible for dandruff. In shampoo form, it not only clears scalp infections but also may support hair retention by lowering scalp DHT levels.

Tugain Essentials 2% Ketoconazole Shampoo is a dermatologist-recommended solution for dandruff and scalp irritation. Powered by 2% Ketoconazole, it targets the root cause of dandruff—fungal overgrowth—while also helping reduce hair fall linked to scalp inflammation and hormonal imbalance.
