Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

How 8X Shampoo works. 8X Shampoo is a combination of two antifungal medicines: Ciclopirox and Zinc pyrithione which treat dandruff. These medicines work by stopping the growth of fungi that cause dandruff by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

Pharmacokinets

As demonstrated in pharmacokinetic studies in animals and man, ciclopirox olamine is rapidly absorbed after oral administration and completely eliminated in all species via feces and urine. Most of the compound is excreted either unchanged or as glucuronide,Pyrithione zinc is commonly found as an active ingredient in OTC antidandruff topical treatments such as shampoos. It mediates its action by increasing the cellular levels of copper, and damaging iron-sulfur clusters of proteins essential for fungal metabolism and growth.
