Abstract

Dano-anti dandruff oil is a proprietary Siddha medicine of the company. The present study is taken up to revalidate the drug value and the clinical efficacy of Dano-anti dandruff oil. We have conducted a survey among AYUSH practitioners who prescribe the drug Dano-anti dandruff oil to their patients for treating problems like dandruff and scalp disorders. Dano-anti dandruff oil being a Siddha drug, the feedback of ISM practitioners (non-MBBS doctors) on its efficacy assumes great importance. Findings of the study are presented in the paper.
