Pyrithione zinc has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal activity. The antibacterial activity of zinc pyrithione is manifested against a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus spp.) Zinc pyrithione reduces the intracellular level of ATP, promotes
the depolarization of cell membranes, causing the death of fungi and bacteria.
 
Antifungal activity is especially characteristic against fungi of the genus Malassezia (formerly Pityrosporum ovale and Pityrosporum orbiculare), which cause inflammation and excessive flaking in dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and other skin diseases. The mechanism of anti-inflammatory action has not been investigated.
 
Indications:
• psoriasis
• atopic dermatitis (eczema, neurodermatitis)
