Is Nizoral better than other shampoos and can it promote hair growth?
Nizoral 1% (Ketoconazole 1%) is sold as an over the counter anti-dandruff shampoo. Nizoral 2% (Ketoconazole 2%) shampoo has twice the strength of the over the counter shampoo. The active ingredient, Ketoconazole is said to act as a DHT blocker. While some people who use Nizoral may believe that it does control hair loss, there is no objective evidence that it is anything more than a good shampoo.
Iwant to know the price and if you deliver the product from another country, for example El Salvador in America Central?
I want to know how many time the hair growth?
We do not sell this or any shampoo.
Dr. Rassman,
I live in India, am 50 years old and have an acute case of hereditary balding, inherited through both parents. Both my children have acquired this problem unfortunately. My son aged 19 is losing hair very qickly, so also my daughter aged 20. My son had some success with minoxidil taken together with vitamin and micro-nutrient supplements, but he was recently cautioned against using minoxidil tpoical lotion (5%)by someone in the field of pharmaceuticals, saying that continued use wuld lead to impairmnt of his reflexes and a general slowing down.
My daughter is trying Schwarzkopf shampoo & serum, plus vitamin supplements, without much of a visible improvement. Please advise.
Dr. Rassman,
What about this study showing 2% Nizoral was as effective as Minoxidil?
