learn Ketoconazole

Antifungal, best known as a dandruff shampoo

Is there a difference between 1% and 2% ketoconazole? The documented differences are strength and supply: 1% ketoconazole shampoo is sold over the counter while 2% is usually prescription-only, and almost all of the trial evidence — including a 2015 Cochrane review — was gathered on the 2% shampoo rather than in a head-to-head comparison of the two strengths.
Does ketoconazole really help with hair loss? Ketoconazole 2% shampoo may give a modest benefit in pattern hair loss, based on a few small studies; how it might work is unproven and it is not approved for hair loss. Oral ketoconazole tablets are not a hair-loss treatment.
Ketoconazole: Is it safe to use every day or can it damage my hair? Ketoconazole shampoo labels describe intermittent use (the US 1% label says every 3–4 days), and no published trial has tested daily use for hair loss. The labels list dryness and irritation among reported side effects.
