What is Ketoconazole?

Ketoconazole is a synthetic antifungal medication and is taken orally. It is one of the scientifically proven and effective solutions for treating hair loss and hair rejuvenation. Furthermore, it is an androgen receptor antagonist which is an allusion that it will fight against Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to combine with androgen receptors in hair follicles making hair strands stronger and healthy.

Forms of Ketoconazole:

Ketoconazole exists in oral forms like pills and tablets as well as in topical formulas such as creams but most commonly as shampoos. Because of its soluble nature, Ketoconazole can be easily absorbed into tissues and cells where it can accumulate by providing the necessary requirements.

How Do Shampoos that Contain Ketoconazole Work?

The primary use of Ketoconazole in shampoos is to get rid of scalp problems such as dandruff and fungal infections causing hair thinning and hair fall. It kills fungi and yeasts cultivated on the scalp by combining with cell membranes. Ketoconazole stops the fungi from formulating ergosterol, which is needed for the survival of cell membranes. Ketoconazole for hair loss is an effective way to treat scalps Dihydrotestosterone DHT.

Ketoconazole increases hair growth because of its following properties:

• Its extensive antifungal actions against the microbes taking over the scalp and hair growth cells
• Its anti-inflammatory formula properties
• Having fat-soluble nature

Guidelines for Effective Use of Ketoconazole shampoo:

Guidelines for the effective application of a Ketoconazole shampoo for hair loss are much similar to those of other medicated shampoos.  Use as prescribed on the label and apply the shampoo on your scalp for just 3 – 6 minutes giving it time to work and noticeable results.
