| Notes |
This is an antifungal shampoo primarily for the treatment of seborrhatic
dermatitis. The active ingredient Ketoconazole has some antiandrogenic effects, but it is
unknown whether the amount in the shampoo is absorbed. If it helps with hair loss it may
work in a way other than as an antiandrogen. It is definitely a good shampoo for making
hair look thicker. |
