Pharmacological effect

Pyrithione zinc has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal activity. The antibacterial activity of zinc pyrithione is manifested in a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus spp.). Pyrithione zinc reduces the intracellular level of ATP, contributes to the depolarization of cell membranes, causing the death of fungi and bacteria. Antifungal activity is especially pronounced in the case of fungi of the genus Malassezia (formerly Pityrosporum ovale and Pityrosporum orbiculare), causing inflammation and excessive desquamation in dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and other skin diseases. The mechanism of anti-inflammatory action has not been studied.

Reviews

We offer you to read reviews of people who used Cynocap:

Anna. At my husband a neurodermite and already longly. He is prescribed funds with zinc pyrithione. He used a zonocap and tried it with a French analog skinhead. So in comparison, the zonokap did not help him at all, except that he took off the ecdysis a little. Plus, a zonocap will be that it is cheaper than its foreign counterpart.
Pauline. To us the cynokap very well helped with atopic dermatitis to understand. Removed all manifestations of blood pressure, pretty quickly. But we must remember that the cause is still inside, the diet needs to be respected and the way of life is changed, then everything will pass away and will not bother anymore.
Diana. An excellent remedy against various allergies to the skin. I myself was allergic creepy in my childhood, I do not know what we were treated then, but I remember that the dermatitis was constantly wet and reached eczema. Even once they locked me in an insulator at sea. And my daughter is also food allergic. It immediately becomes blotchy, it will eat something or a dye of some kind. And then I send her to the camp, and I'm afraid already, so that she does not ate there. Has given with itself a tube of a zonocapa. And he was already on the train useful to her. Someone from the neighbors gave juice to the road, she shared. And my daughter immediately sprinkled. Calling - my mother, I started again... I told her that she rubbed the cynocap three times a day. Pah-pah-pah nothing has helped, ceased to itch and quickly passed. I advise everyone.
