How it works
Dandrid Lotion is a combination of four medicines: Menthol, Miconazole, Tinidazole, and Zinc Sulfate which treat dandruff. Menthol produces a cooling effect on the scalp. Miconazole is an antifungal medicine which stops the growth of dandruff-causing fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Tinidazole is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria and other microorganisms by damaging their DNA. Zinc Sulfate is an antiseptic.
Quick Tips
Dandrid Lotion is used for the treatment of dandruff and thus relieves flakiness and itching. Use Dandrid Lotion twice weekly for 2-4 weeks. Clean and dry your scalp before applying Dandrid Lotion. Drink plenty of water as by hydrating your body you also reduce the number of flakes on your scalp thereby decreasing the appearance of dandruff. Avoid scratching your scalp as it will only aggravate dandruff. Make sure to cover your head with a hat or a scarf whenever you step out. Do not share pillow covers with anyone else and change them after every 2-3 days.
