Is ketaconazole necessary while on Finasteride?

I noticed early signs of hair loss about 3 months ago and jumped on the Big 3: finasteride, minoxidil, and ketaconazole (shampoo). Knowing how each of these treatments affect the body, I wonder if it's necessary to continue the shampoo once finasteride has taken effect. Since fin is eliminating DHT at the source, will there be anything for the shampoo to cleanse from the scalp?

 

Also, I caught my hair loss early enough that it's only visible when parting my hair. In other words, I could do without minoxidil assuming that finasteride halts my hair loss. Does this sound like a logical theory?

 

I take .25mg of Finpecia daily; .5ml of Kirkland minox daily; Lipogaine 3x/wk

As I always mention I'm not a big fan of shampoos such as Nizoral especially 2% (though you did mention Lipogaine in this case).

 

I don't think it will hurt to drop the keto since you're on the proven meds for hairloss already.

Overuse of keto shampoos can cause more harm anyway.

go dense or go home
