2013, Clinics in DermatologyCitation Excerpt :A randomized controlled, investigator-blinded study in 326 patients with moderate to severe scalp SD, reported that the combination therapy of twice-weekly clobetasol propionate shampoo 0.05% alternating with twice-weekly ketoconazole shampoo 2% for 4 weeks, was more efficacious than ketoconazole shampoo monotherapy.102 Also topical azoles including bifonazole 1% ointment (with or without urea), ketoconazole 2% cream or shampoo, and fluconazole 2% shampoo, have been shown to be effective and well tolerated.104 Some strains of M globosa and M restricta, the causative agents most associated with dandruff and SD, are resistant to azole antifungals, explaining treatment failure seen in clinical practice.105
