Where'd It Go,

I couldn't tell you for sure. However, I know Revita contains 1% ketoconazole and is enriched with a number of ingredients that helps moisturize and nourish the hair. Nizoral 2% has more ketoconazole so it's more heavily medicated. So whether or not it's the ketoconazole specifically that can cause scalp and hair dryness or something else, I couldn't tell you.

Best wishes,

Bill

The heavier dose would have something to do with it I would think, it is an over-the-counter drug after all, there must be some reason.

Personally I've been using Revita daily for a month, and I'm really happy with the way my hair feels, haven't noticed a reappearance of the dandruff since switching to a lower dose so I'm happy!

I don't mean to sound like a cynic but I am up in the air about Nizoral. It is a cheap $5 shampoo here in Australia (have used for HL in the big 3, did't rate it at all), how come other countries require prescription's for this? Slightly confusing issue? Or am I mislead?
How many studies have been conducted in relation to it's effects with DHT on the scalp?

Cheers,
MrMike
