Ketoconazole 2% – Nizral Shampoo

Catalogue categories: Hair Care · Topical Solution

Nizral shampoo is listed as ketoconazole 2%, a topical antifungal treatment used for dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and some other yeast-related skin conditions. It is not an established standalone cure for androgenetic hair loss.

How it works

Ketoconazole reduces fungi and yeasts that contribute to dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Use and precautions

For dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis, NHS guidance describes shampoo use twice weekly for two to four weeks, followed by less frequent maintenance where needed. Follow the supplied formulation’s instructions and rinse thoroughly.

Safety warnings

Avoid the eyes and discontinue for severe irritation or allergy. Hair or scalp dryness and texture changes may occur. Persistently inflamed, painful or infected scalps need evaluation.
