Dandruff is often associated with excessive growth of Pityrosporum orbiculare (Malassezia furfur), a fungus that is normally present on the skin. Flucinate Shampoo also helps treat irregular white or brown patches on the body that sometimes appear after sun exposure (a condition known as tinea or pityriasis versicolor). Regular application of Flucinate Shampoo on the scalp helps relieve itching and discomfort associated with dandruff.
Q. Can Flucinate Shampoo be used in kids?
No, Flucinate Shampoo is not approved for use in children. Its safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. Therefore, you should avoid using this medicine in children without medical advice. Always consult your doctor before using Flucinate Shampoo.
Q. Is Flucinate Shampoo an antibacterial agent?
No, Flucinate Shampoo is not an antibacterial agent. It is a corticosteroid used for the treatment of dandruff. Pityrosporum orbiculare (Malassezia furfur), a type of fungus, plays an important role in the development of dandruff. Flucinate Shampoo is effective in reducing swelling, redness, and itching of the scalp caused by dandruff.
