🩺 Clinical
This is an over-the-counter topical lotion containing pyrithione zinc, an antimicrobial agent typically used to help reduce flaking, irritation, and itching associated with scalp conditions such as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. The product is marketed as a scalp serum and is applied directly to the scalp. Pyrithione zinc functions by slowing the growth of yeast and bacteria on the skin. This product is an OTC monograph drug, meaning it is marketed according to FDA's established rules for its category rather than through an individual product application.
