Best way to use nizoral?

[Bruno Sardine]

I just got my nizoral bottle in the mail. It's the 2% and i'm not sure what's the best way to use it. Do I use it once a week or twice week and is it recommened that I use conditioner with it as well?

I am using 2% also.

I've been using the generic 2% for over a year now and I have used it with three full days between each use, so twice a week, this was my doctor's instructions. Mine was prescribed for a pretty difficult case of flakey, scaly dandruff. I began using nizoral less frequently after the dandruff initially stopped, but it soon began to return so I stuck to twice a week from then on. You could try twice a week and see if your scalp feels too dry or irritated and lower to once a week if that happens. Definitely not more than twice a week, and with 2% you would probably still be alright with once a week. Good luck

I don't know why it spilt this into two posts

Dont over use it as there is a tendency to, as makes hair feel great with body.

I use it once a fortnight as otherwise makes my hair shed.

I also got 2% perscribed for bad flaking dandruff. Family doc said use every 3 days. Was thinking about starting once per week (don't want the shed) or waiting for an apt I have with a dermatologist next week. Is it required to do twice a week for 8 weeks first or can just start once per week. My scalp is so dry and irritated to begin with.

Though I had generic 2% keto, I overused it in terms of frequency and duration of time left in hair with each application. My hair was fried, scalp irritated, and I'm mildly sure that it caused me to shed.

As a result, I quit using it, but wonder if I didn't induce all the negative effects. I often think about starting it up, but have since gotten used to a zinc pyrithione shampoo.

Would using every 4th day until itch subsides and scalp clears up and then going to once a week be okay instead of using twice a week for 8 for weeks if it only takes a couple weeks to clear up the scalp?

My 2% bottle for dosage specifically says 1 application should be sufficient and then use intermittently as necessary.

Hmm. I use keto every 3 days and wonder if this is compromising my results on dut+fin. I do notice more shedding, usually, when I use keto to wash.

I just do not get it, because the studies that showed a positive effect for MPB had participants using it 2-4x every week, right?

I use it twice per week (Mondays and Fridays).
