Uses of Protar-K Solution 100 ml

Dandruff, Dermatitis

Medicinal Benefits

Protar-K Solution 100 ml is primarily used to treat dandruff and dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin on the scalp). Protar-K Solution 100 ml is composed of two medicines: Ketoconazole (antifungal) and Coal Tar (keratoplastic). Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that works by preventing the growth of dandruff-causing fungi by avoiding them from forming their own protective covering. Coal tar belongs to a class of drugs known as keratoplastic (thickens the keratin layers). It works by removing dead cells from the skin’s top layer and slowing down skin cells' growth. This effect decreases scaling and dryness, thus relieving itching and cracking related to dandruff.
