Using Ketoconazole to Offset Hair Loss

Ketoconazole acts as an antifungal that reinforces the properties of sebum and mildly reduces DHT./nUsing ketoconazole shampoo 2-4 times per week can maintain lost hair with an 80% response rate./nIt is unclear if ketoconazole shampoo can stimulate new hair growth./nKetoconazole shampoo can promote hair growth in areas of thinning or miniaturized hair follicles./nUsing a shampoo with at least 2% ketoconazole concentration is important for offsetting hair loss./nSome mild side effects of ketoconazole shampoo may include scalp irritation and hair thinning, which can be offset by using shampoos with biotin./nThe effectiveness of biotin-rich shampoos for enhancing biotin incorporation into hair is unclear./nThere are various ketoconazole-containing shampoos with 2% concentration available to address dryness and brittleness caused by ketoconazole shampoos.
