Nizoral Hair Loss
Nizoral shampoo has a main active ingredient is a drug called ketoconazole and is one of the best-proven weapons in the fight against fungal infections of the scalp, such as dandruff. Nizoral shampoo usually contains 1% or 2% ketoconazole, but in some countries,you may find that the 2% strong Nizoral shampoo requires a doctor’s prescription.
Using Nizoral twice a week will usually keep your dandruff at bay. It is not necessary to shampoo your hair with Nizoral daily because its main active substance, ketoconazole, binds to the protein of your hair and for several days keeps on attacking and killing the fungus that causes your dandruff and infections.
One of the less well documented properties of Nizoral shampoo is its ability to fight baldness. In one small study, 2% ketoconazole was shown to be as effective as 2% minoxidil solution in promoting hair growth. It is assumed that ketoconazole works as an anti-androgen, reducing the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels in the scalp. It should be noted that sufficient clinical evidence does not exist to confirm such assumptions.
F you are already using minoxidil then it may be of interest to know that a proportion of hair loss patients are experiencing itchiness and inflammations of their scalp caused by diverse minoxidil solutions and are relying on the Nizoral shampoo to help them fight these negative side effects, usually with very good rates of success. This enables them to continue with their hair loss treatment, avoiding scalp inflammations.
Consumer reviews of the Nizoral shampoo are plentiful and very positive as far as treating dandruff and other fungal scalp infections is concerned. Many hair loss sufferers have included Nizoral in their daily regimen, since they believe in its ability to regrow hair. Nonetheless, it is almost impossible to find convincing consumer evidence that Nizoral shampoo works solely as an effective hair loss treatment.

Just started by Doris Jones, age 54, who has been using Nizoral for one month:
I read about Nizoral long ago and had to buy it with a doctor’s prescription but no insurance so it was pricey. Now I can get it online so I’m trying it again. I have the post menopause hairloss thinning. I read one guy’s personal blog where he was not selling anything and he had tried all the things like Minoxidil and Finasteride but went back to Nizoral and said it had helped him. I plan to stick with it this time and be more vigilant in using it.

Nizoral makes my hair darker: by Myhairloss, age 29, who has been using Nizoral for two months:
I had read that Nizoral shampoo helps eliminate DHT in the scalp and decided to give it a go, although I am not suffering from dandruff. I am using Minoxidil and generic Propecia daily against my hair loss and now, since about eight weeks ago, I shampoo my hair once a week with Nizoral. My first observation, after less than two months, is that my hair appears healthier and I have less grey. My hair has also gone a shade darker and feels softer. Until now I have not noticed any change in the quality of my hair while on Propecia and Minoxidil. I have to wait for another two months or so to fully evaluate the results and see whether it was only a seasonal change in hair colour or not.
