Why is Nizoral considered a big three?
Has there ever been any any studies done that this shampoo is anything but snake oil? It isn't even marketed for hair loss. Why would a company not market their shampoo for hair loss if it had such amazing results? Everyone uses it as a supplement for the other big 2... Has anyone actually maintained/grown hair using only it?
Just because someone had good results using the big 3 doesnt prove jack that it had anything to do with nizoral.

It considered to be part of the big 3 because it is actually some medical treatment and not some herbal mixture of something. The results are well documented and the studies on the active ingredient ketoconazole are not only done by the company selling the product.
Using it as a hair loss shampoo is considered an off-label use. However, there all other hair loss medicine was also developed for other reasons and the anti-hair loss effect was only a side effect of most of them.

kept is supposed to have anti-dat properties and anti inflammatory properties in the scalp. obvious the anti dht is not anywhere as strong as fin or cut, but it might be worthwhile adding to your regimen if you have the extra cash, i use regenepure dr.

Dr. Rashid, what is your opinion on dutasteride in regards to treating mpb? I've been waiting for long term studies to be released but I doubt that will never happen. Given the fact that generic avodart has been released the last few months I doubt this will ever happen.

But of course people finding a few abstracts on the internet and deciding what course of action is best is also not a good idea. One can find a study supporting just about any point of view, this is why one needs to talk to an experienced and competent doctor before medicating oneself. There are lots of expert, very experienced doctors who say Nizoral by no means should be considered part of a "big three" with finasteride and minoxidil, as it's either much much less effective, or completely ineffective for helping with hair loss. What's your opinion about this? Have you had patients who have significantly regrown hair using only Nizoral? Many, few? None? There are a lot of responses here, like google is your friend, and it's great to see people using google to find abstracts, which don't address the central question in the OP.
