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.
