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.
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.
Can ketoconazole make hair loss worse before it makes it better? No study shows a minoxidil-style "shed" with ketoconazole shampoo. The label does list increased hair loss (under 1% in trials) and alopecia among reported side effects, so new or increased shedding is worth raising with a doctor or pharmacist.
