    I agree. Hope they place a North American office/warehouse someday.

    I am interested in seeing if Natamycin is effective as an anti-dandruff agent.

    Natamycin is an antibiotic. For the sake of not creating even more resistances against antibiotics, I advocate Swiss law: Only use it as prescription drug and not on/for anything else. In the EU, it’s used on a few cheeses, basically those where there’s a note on the package probably translated as “Rind unfit for consumption”.

    It is only an antibiotic because of the strict ‘against life’ definition, as in, yeast is a form of life. You could say that alcohol is an antibiotic, iodine is an antibiotic, under the same definition. It has NO antibacterial action whatsoever. It is an antimycotic not an antibacterial.

    Thanks, I stand corrected, not antibiotic (yes, the word antibiotic or rather it’s origin is not coherent with modern definition) but a fungicide. Although, that doesn’t change a thing. It is suspected that the use of natamycin causes cross-resistance with similar fungicides.
