LUPIZOL ZS SHAMPOO

Uses and Benefits of LUPIZOL ZS SHAMPOO (LULICONAZOLE 1% W/V + SALICYLIC ACID 3% W/V + ZINC PYRITHIONE 1% W/V)

This combination is mainly used to treat fungal skin infections that are accompanied by scaling, flaking, or dandruff-like symptoms.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Fungal infections of the skin such as ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch
• Seborrheic dermatitis with scaling and flaking
• Dandruff associated with fungal or yeast overgrowth on the scalp or skin

HOW IT WORKS

• Luliconazole is an antifungal that kills or stops the growth of fungus causing the infection
• Salicylic Acid softens and removes thickened, scaly, or dead skin, helping other ingredients penetrate better
• Zinc Pyrithione has antifungal and antibacterial properties that help control yeast (Malassezia) linked to dandruff and scaling

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used for bacterial skin infections
• Not used for viral skin conditions like warts caused by viruses (though salicylic acid alone is used for warts, this combination is not intended for that)
• Not a treatment for acne or eczema unrelated to fungal infection
