learn Ketoconazole

antifungal with some anti-androgenic benefits, often used as a 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.
Ketoconazole: Is it safe to use every day or can it damage my hair? Ketoconazole shampoo is labelled for use about two to three times a week, and no published trial has tested daily use for hair loss; dermatology guidance and the product label warn that more frequent use tends to dry and irritate the scalp.
Ketoconazole: Can I use it with minoxidil or finasteride? No published study has tested ketoconazole shampoo together with minoxidil and finasteride, and no interaction between them has been reported; the only direct evidence for a pairing is a ten-patient finasteride-plus-ketoconazole arm in a 2002 study, and a 2020 systematic review calls topical ketoconazole promising while asking for randomized trials.

Minoxidil 2%, 5% and 10% which is better to use? In a randomized trial in men, 5% topical minoxidil produced more hair growth than 2%.

Approved strengths differ by sex, so check the label for your product.
