Hi All
On the Wikipedia site for Nizoral http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nizoral It mentions the following which I thought was interesting: Ketoconazole can be prescribed as a 200-mg pill, a 2% cream, a 2% gel,a 2% foam,or 2% shampoo for the treatment of dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis, or as a 1% over-the-counter shampoo (Nizoral). Has anyone heard of people using the pill, cream, gel or foam? As this would be left on the scalp I wonder if it would have deeper scalp penetration and have a better effect on MPB and DHT? I also found the following on http://www.drugs.com/xolegel.html Ketoconazole topical is available with a prescription under the brand name Nizoral in 2% cream and shampoo formulations and under the brand name Xolegel as a 2% gel. Other brand or generic formulations may also be available. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about Xolegel, especially if it is new to you. Nizoral 2% cream Nizoral 2% shampoo (red-orange liquid) Xolegel 2% gel-2 gram or 15 gram tube Any views would be welcomed... Best, Ian |

There was a small study into the effectiveness of ketoconzole cream - it only enrolled 6 men but the results were encouraging.

Does anyone know how to get hold of it..? Maybe a ketoconzole leave-on product would be more effective than the nizoral shampoo, and better absorbed.. |

I've just found this site for Extina, a 2% Ketoconazole foam, but not sure where you can buy it

It seems like there are 2 Ketoconzole foam products: Extina (from US) and Ketomousse (Italy), but can't seem to find anywhere that sells them... This could be an exciting development as studies support the effectiveness of 2% Nizoral, which is also one of the big 3 we all read about! As both products are leave-on, this could mean a deeper penetration and stronger anti-DHT effect against MPB... Let me know if anyone knows anymore, especially where you can buy. Ta v.much Ian |
