Nizoral Shampoo?
How does Nizoral shampoo help with thinning hair while using propecia and rogaine?
Thanks.
Is that the best combo? Propecia, rogaine, nizoral

Nizoral is also used the treat seborrheic dermatitis and other dry conditions. It is a antifungal shampoo. Might be worth a try. May work for some and not do much for others.

Nizoral is an anti-fungal shampoo that kills the fungi that cause seborrhea and dandruff.
Groups of individuals have discovered that Nizoral (when used regularly) is a very useful alopecia treatment, once again it would appear that the role of a substance for the treatment of hair-loss is stumbled upon accidentally!
Nizoral contains a chemical called ketoconazole, it is known that when ketoconazole is ingested orally that it inhibits the binding of androgens to receptors in the body and this would include the binding of DHT to hair-follicle receptors.
Furthermore positive results with Nizoral shampoo are often noted within a few weeks, whereas a pure anti-DHT affect may take a few months. It is therefore likely that Nizoral exhibits another method to its anti-hair-loss effect.
One such theory of Nizorals anti-alopecia effects may be on its activity upon sebum.
Sebum is a fatty substance that accumulates in the scalp around the hair follicles. Its possible that the removal of sebum may help “unclog” the hair follicle and expose it to more nutrition from an improved blood supply, rather like unclogging a drain!
It is known that Nizoral can remove and reduce sebum deposits.

Is Nizoral kind of necessary for an effective treatment of hair loss? I've been using it but have noticed an increase in shedding. How necessary is Nizoral when coupled with propecia?

Here's what I don't understand: nizoral apparently contains sodium laurel sulphate, which I thought I was supposed to avoid at all costs.

Which is why you should not listen to myths.
Nizoral works, very well. Read the studies.

2%(ketoconazole) works better. But can cause side effects in some people.
