    You can buy the 2% on Amazon for a reasonable price.

    Why do people even use the 1%? I'm pretty sure that every study that monitored Nizoral's effects on hair-loss used the 2%.

    Well after one week of using Aveeno Pure Renewal Shampoo I noticed more shedding again the last couple days. Odd thing was started using last monday and after a few days noticed less and less hair in shower, so I thought wow maybe sulfate free will make a big difference. However this Sunday I noticed alot of hair in shower again. Is it normal to have some days where you notice a lot more shedding and then go a week or so without noticing any. Seem the last two Sundays I had heavy shedding, first using suave sulfate shampoo and this last Sunday using sulfate free shampoo for the week prior.

    Also, after 1 week still have a lot of off and on again itching in scalp. Does not seem sulfate free shampoo has helped with itching.

    Thinking of trying the Nizoral (have script for 2 %). Would I need a conditioner to use after? Would the Aveeno Pure Renewal 2 in 1 work well to use for the conditioner after Nizoral? If anybody has used the Aveeno Pure Renewal 2 in 1, is it thicker? Does it lather better or worse then the regular Aveeno Pure Renewal shampoo? What benefits would I get from using the 2 and 1 daily?

    where are you based?
    Nizoral is available in two versions, the 2% strength and the 1% strength. Here in the US, the 1% strength does not require a prescription but the 2% strength does. The 1% strength is often very hard to find. The 2% strength is easy to get if you get a script from your doctor.

    Because they don't need to ask their doctor for a script to get 1%.

    Again, there was only one good quality study on the benefits of Ketoconazole with regard to treating hair loss. That one good quality study did show that it is a helpful adjunct to stand alone treatments such as Propecia and Rogaine - but it is not a stand alone treatment itself. Anyways, using 1% once a week is still better than not using any at all.

    Nizoral is easily available in the UK.
    Is it different in the US?

    Yes.

    In the US, you need a prescription from a doctor to get 2% Nizoral. Once you have that script, it is easy to get.

    In the US, 1% Nizoral is available without a prescription but it is often difficult to find due to frequent supply shortages.

    Yes. Don't count hairs. Doing so will drive you nutty.
