Antifungal Medication
I have dandruff and was prescribed antifungal medicine for the same along with a shampoo. Would consuming the medicine poses a risk during the current corona outbreak?
No...Don't worry...you are suffering from seborrheic dermatitis causing dandruff... Medicine available for good control... Treatment depends on the severity..Do direct online consultation for detailed prescription by sending photos.

Antifungal tablets are not very commonly prescribed for dandruff unless it is very severe dandruff. For mild dandruff, only topical solutions and shampoos are recommended.

You can consult me directly and share photographs for detailed prescription and management.
