question in the title, how many times a week do you use it in your routine?

i use it 2x per week.
every Monday and every Thursday.
i used to use it almost every day at the beginning before i got on any real meds (minox & fin).
it helped me a lot in slowing down or stopping my hairloss while using it every day. donno could be coincidence but i'm not so sure. i believe that nizoral helped stopping my rapid hairloss.
so if you use minox 2x per day like i do.... then yes use it 2x per week.
if no minox then i'd say every other day and use moisturizing shampoo in between (dove - daily moisture).
see i wash my hair every day and things are looking great so far.
but for how long...... now that would be $64 dollar question.

combo of nizoral 2x/week, minox 2x/day, and proscar 1.25/day is doing wonders for me and i just hope that it stays that way for a very long long time.

hope this helps.

cheers bruv

Thanks for the response GQ appreciated m8!

UK_Lad,

My first question is which Nizoral? Regular (1%) or 2%? Don't use 2% more than 2 or 3 times a week. If you're going to use the regular shampoo, you could also consider Revita which also contains 1% ketoconazole. You can use that shampoo daily.

I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice. All opinions and views shared are my own.

it says it has 20mg/g of ketoconazole (anti dandruff shampoo), does not say if its 1% or 2% though!

Uk_lad,

If its the 100ml bottle then 20mg would make it 2%.

Also, if you bought it here in the the UK - The 2% version is called Nizoral, it is only available from behind the counter in a chemist/pharmacy, the 1% version is called Nizorelle and can be found on the shelves in any supermarket/chemist.

P.S. If looking for Nizorelle (the 1% version of Nizoral) - in the supermarket, it will be in the aisle containing cold medicine ect, not the shampoo aisle.

in Canada the only nizoral we have is 2%. that 1% is non-existing thing up here. no prescription is necessary for 2% here.
so when i was referring to nizoral above i was referring to 2% kind.
some people say 2% is too harsh or that it might do more harm than good, but i did not have any issues with it while i was using it almost every day for about 1.5 years.
i respect the fact that people warn other people about those "issues" just to be on safe side.
so adjust your needs accordingly

Just incase there is any confusing, you don't need a prescription for Nizoral 2% here in the UK, but you won't find it on the stores shelves, it is held behind the counter and you need to ask for it. (in a chemist/pharmacy)

that's interesting Maxxy.
here it's on the same shelf with other regular shampoos, though grouped with other mediceded shampoos such as nutrogina t/gel, psoriasis, polytar etc. but nontheless on the same shelf/rack as fructis, loreal, pantene Pro-V etc. not behind any counter. just grab and go

Hey Mr.GQ,

In the UK our medicated shampoo is almost always stocked in a medical aisle in supermarkets. In the chemist/pharmacy they generally have a section for medicated hair related products such as T-Gel, Nizorelle (1% Niz) and Regaine 2% (yes its regaine here, lol).

For Nizoral 2% and Regaine 5%, you don't need a prescription but you do have to get it from a chemist/pharmacy and it is always held behind the counter.

I was actually refused Nizoral 2% on my first attempt of purchase, as when I was asked "have you used it before?" I replied no, haha.
