Nizoral shampoo is a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole, an anti-fungal agent. It is used to prevent or treat conditions like dandruff and hair loss, when the underlying cause is a fungal infection.
Nizoral, a potent anti-dandruff shampoo, also helps to block the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is believed that DHT has a role in the hair follicle dying and falling out - and indeed,
Nizoral does appear to prevent hair loss.
Furthermore, it is now believed that Nizoral helps to remove sebum deposits. These fatty deposits lie on the scalp and to clog the hair follicles and may prevent or reduce the nutritional supply to the follicle. Sebum deposits can not be removed with normal scalp cleansing techniques.
Warnings: Irritation may occur when the shampoo is used immediately after prolonged treatment with topical corticosteroids. To prevent a rebound effect after stopping a prolonged treatment with topical corticosteroids, it is recommended to continue applying a mild topical corticosteroid at the onset of treatment with ketoconazole shampoo, and to subsequently and gradually withdraw the steroid therapy over a period of 2 to 3 weeks.
