Fungoral Ketoconazole Shampoo

Fungoral is a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole, primarily used for the treatment and prevention of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. The brand has a long history in the pharmaceutical sector, originally developed under the Janssen Pharmaceutica umbrella, which is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. However, in recent years, rights to the brand in various European markets were divested.

Currently, the brand is owned by Trimb Healthcare, a Swedish pharmaceutical company that focuses on over-the-counter (OTC) products. Trimb Healthcare was acquired by Karo Pharma (now Karo Healthcare) in 2019. Consequently, the ultimate owner is Karo Healthcare, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, which is backed by the private equity firm EQT. While the brand is managed from Sweden, manufacturing for this specific pharmaceutical line is typically outsourced to specialized facilities in Belgium or other parts of Europe.
