How Magidruf Shampoo works

Magidruf Shampoo is a combination of two antifungal medicines: Ketoconazole and Piroctone Olamine which treat dandruff. Ketoconazole kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane. Piroctone Olamine works by penetrating the cell membrane of the fungi to interfere with their energy metabolism and oxygen uptake. This kills the fungi and clears up the infection.
