What type of shampoos contain special chemicals or drugs for treating dandruff?

Moisturizing shampoos
Therapeutic medicated shampoos
Clarifying shampoos
Regular shampoos

The correct answer is: Therapeutic medicated shampoos

Therapeutic medicated shampoos are specifically formulated with active ingredients that target and treat specific scalp conditions, such as dandruff. These shampoos often include antifungal agents, salicylic acid, or zinc pyrithione, which work to reduce flaking, alleviate itching, and eliminate the underlying causes of dandruff. By addressing the scalp's health directly through these medicated formulations, therapeutic shampoos provide more effective relief than other types of shampoos. Moisturizing shampoos focus on hydrating and nourishing dry hair but do not typically address scalp conditions like dandruff. Clarifying shampoos are designed to remove product buildup and impurities from hair but do not contain the active ingredients needed to treat scalp issues. Regular shampoos provide basic cleansing, without specialized treatment properties. Therefore, therapeutic medicated shampoos are distinctly recognized for their role in managing dandruff effectively.
