hello
thanks for the query
Dandruff happens due to excessive scaling on scalp and secondary fungal infection.
It can be easily controlled by using an antifungal shampoo.
You can use ketoconazole shampoo twice a week.
it usually gives excellent results within a month.
Azee 500 is an antibiotic.
It is of no use in dandruff hence please don't take it.
let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
