A cosa serve e dove si usa
Piroctone Olamina ha dimostrato efficacia nel trattare la forfora e altre condizioni del cuoio capelluto associate a funghi e lieviti patogeni. Inibisce la crescita di microorganismi che causano irritazione e desquamazione, rendendolo un ingrediente attivo ideale in shampoo antiforfora e trattamenti per il cuoio capelluto. Oltre a promuovere un cuoio capelluto sano, Piroctone Olamina aiuta a ridurre il prurito e a migliorare l'aspetto dei capelli. È anche usato in alcuni prodotti per la cura della pelle, come creme e lozioni, per le sue proprietà antimicrobiche.
Medicina
Piroctone Olamina è utilizzato in creme, lozioni e soluzioni cutanee per trattare condizioni dermatologiche come dermatite seborroica (1), psoriasi e tinea versicolor.

Abstract. Facial seborrheic dermatitis (FSD) is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disorder occurring in areas of the face rich in sebaceous glands. It clinically manifests as erythematous scaly macules or plaques, often associated with pruritus. Although the pathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis is not yet fully understood, Malassezia yeast, hormones, sebum levels, and immune response are known to play important roles. Additional factors including drugs, cold temperatures, and stress may exacerbate the condition. Currently, the available treatments do not cure the disease but relieve symptoms. Various pharmacological treatments are available, including antifungal agents, keratolytics, topical low-potency steroids, and calcineurin inhibitors. All of them provide several benefits, but they also have potential side effects. Seborrheic dermatitis tends to have a chronic, recurrent course. To avoid the long-term use of drugs, topical non-pharmacological products such as cosmetics or medical devices may improve clinical outcomes. Products with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory ingredients such as zinc, piroctone olamine, dihydroavenanthramide, biosaccharide gum-2, and stearyl glycyrrhetinate may speed FSD recovery and avoid flare-ups. Finally, the use of specific cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens formulated as light creams or gel/creams should be strongly recommended to all FSD patients. We provide a brief review of the most used non-pharmacological cleansers, topical gel/creams, and specific sunscreens in the management of FSD.

Abstract. Dandruff (pityriasis capitis) is a chronic scalp condition characterized by scaling and sometimes itching and redness. Shampoos containing antifungal agents are used to control the scaling condition. In the present study, two shampoos with different actives are compared in a double-blind, randomised and bilateral study on 19 subjects. One shampoo contained piroctone olamine (0.75%) combined with salicylic acid (2%) and the other contained zinc pyrithione (1%) as active ingredient. The subjects were treated twice weekly with the shampoos for almost 4 weeks. Before each treatment the degree of dandruff was evaluated. Both shampoos were highly effective in reducing the dandruff. The combination of piroctone olamine and salicylic acid appeared to be slightly more effective than zinc pyrithione in reducing the severity and area affected by the scaling.

Abstract. Actived Piroctone Olamine has a proven antiseptic, antimicrobial, antifungal and keratolytic effect. The effect is selective, only acting on the morbidly altered cells. A randomized, simple controlled trial type - III, with post-registration monitoring and continuous inclusion of male and female patients according to criteria was conducted to verify the efficacy and tolerability of Activated Piroctone Olamine (label 100 ml) applied in the management of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis in patients with significant manifestations of the disease in varying areas of the body (scalp, torso, extremities) of varying extent and to assess differences in individual tolerability and the final effect in a group of selected patients. A total of 42 patients were included. There were 4 males and 10 females with seborrhoeic dermatitis, and 9 males and 19 females with psoriasis affecting various areas. The effects and satisfaction with the therapy in the group of patients with seborrhoeic dermatitis was evaluated as excellent in about 71% and very good in about 29%. From the patient's point of view, excellent satisfaction was reported by 57% and satisfaction by 49% of the patients included. No undesired effects were reported. No patient was excluded from the study, and follow-up examinations were performed within the specified timeframes, with a maximum deviation of 3 days. The effects and satisfaction with the therapy in the group of patients with psoriasis was evaluated as excellent in about 54% and very good in 46%. From the patient's point of view, excellent satisfaction was reported by 64% and satisfaction by 32% of the included patients. Only one patient, and in one case the investigator, rated the treatment as insufficient or unsatisfactory for the designated area. No undesired effects were reported. No patient was excluded from the study.
