Start Assessment

Dandrazol 100mg Capsules are an oral antifungal treatment containing ketoconazole, used to manage fungal infections affecting the scalp, skin, and internal organs. It is primarily prescribed for conditions like seborrhoeic dermatitis, dandruff, or tinea infections where topical treatments are ineffective or inappropriate. Dandrazol is suitable for adults under strict medical supervision due to the risk of side effects.

How It Works
Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the production of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. This disrupts cell function and ultimately leads to the death of the fungus. By targeting fungal growth at the source, Dandrazol offers a systemic treatment option that is particularly useful when local applications do not resolve the infection fully or when multiple areas are affected.

Why Choose Dandrazol
Dandrazol is an effective oral option for managing resistant or widespread fungal infections. It offers convenience for patients with chronic or recurrent fungal scalp issues, providing deeper and longer-lasting treatment compared to topical antifungals alone. Its once-daily dosing makes it easy to incorporate into daily routines.

Important Note
Dandrazol should only be used when prescribed by a doctor after proper diagnosis. Liver function must be monitored during use due to a known risk of hepatotoxicity. It is not suitable for patients with liver conditions or those on medications that strongly interact with ketoconazole. The full course must be completed to prevent resistance and recurrence.
