Ketoconazole – Available in Prescription and OTC Strengths

admin

Ketoconazole is the active ingredient in a common antifungal shampoo or cream that is marketed under the brand name of Nizoral and is also available as an oral prescription medication. Although it is marketed as an antifungal agent, Ketoconazole has broad and significant implications for use as a hair loss treatment. There appears to be some amount of controversy as to the exact mechanism that makes it an effective hair loss treatment, especially for Androgenetic Alopecia (genetic hair loss), but the end results are promising. It has been found to have comparable results to Minoxidil (Rogaine, Regaine) but appears to work through some other biological mechanism.
