Odessy Shampoo (Ketoconazole 2%) treats fungal infections of the scalp and body such as dandruff, dry or greasy scaling of the scalp and other parts of the body called seborrhoeic dermatitis
Odessy Shampoo is a medication that contains ketoconazole, which belongs to the group of antifungal medicines. It is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the scalp and body, including conditions such as dandruff, dry or greasy scaling of the scalp, and seborrheic dermatitis. Ketoconazole works by killing the fungus and preventing its recurrence. It achieves this by binding to fungal p450 enzymes, inhibiting the production of ergosterol, which is necessary for fungal cell wall growth.
