Zolidyne Pyrithione Zinc is an over-the-counter shampoo containing pyrithione zinc, a topical ingredient commonly used in hair and scalp products. Pyrithione zinc is typically used to help reduce flaking, itching, and irritation associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. This product is marketed as an OTC monograph drug, meaning it follows established FDA rules for this category of scalp treatment products rather than undergoing individual drug approval.
