Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Sajazir Work?
- Inhibiting fungal growth: Zinc pyrithione targets and disrupts the cellular processes of fungi and bacteria, thereby reducing their proliferation on the scalp and skin.
- Reducing skin cell turnover: This helps decrease excessive shedding of skin cells that leads to dandruff and flaking.
Common Dosages
- Shampoo: Common concentrations include 1% and 2% zinc pyrithione.
- Lotion or cream: Available in similar concentrations depending on the formulation.
Typical Dosing
- For dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis: The usual recommendation is to apply Sajazir shampoo to the scalp and massage gently, leaving it on for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing. This may be done 2 to 3 times a week initially, followed by once a week as maintenance.
- For tinea versicolor: The lotion or cream is typically applied directly to the affected area and left on for a specified duration before rinsing, usually for 7 days.
