Medicinal Benefits

Dandrid Lotion contains Miconazole and Tinidazole used to treat dandruff. Miconazole is an antifungal that causes holes in the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival and kills fungi causing dandruff. Tinidazole is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It damages the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria and protozoa and inhibits the formation of new DNA. Thereby, killing micro-organisms.

Dandrid Lotion is a combination of two drugs, namely: Miconazole (antifungal) and Tinidazole (antibiotic). Miconazole works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival and kills fungi causing dandruff. Tinidazole works by damaging the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria and protozoa and inhibits the formation of new DNA. Thereby killing micro-organisms. Thus, Dandrid Lotion helps to treat dandruff and provides relief from a flaky and itchy scalp.

Some people may experience itching, redness, irritation, or burning sensation at the site of application.

If you are allergic to Dandrid Lotion or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Dandrid Lotion. Avoid scratching the scalp as it may worsen dandruff. Cover your head with a scarf or hat while going out.
