learn Ketoconazole

Antifungal, best known as a dandruff shampoo

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.
