Hair Loss Shampoo

Shampoos with ketoconazole have undergone clinical research, and results suggest that ketoconazole may be beneficial in men who are suffering from androgenetic alopecia, better known as male pattern baldness.

Clinical study of Ketoconazole Shampoo

Support for this comes primarily from a single study in 1998 that compared ketoconazole 2% to the proven hair loss drug minoxidil 2% in men with androgenic alopecia. In a sample of 27 men, “Hair density and size and proportion of anagen follicles were improved almost similarly by both ketoconazole and minoxidil regimens.” While ketoconazole’s possible mechanism of action in hair loss is still unclear, the study speculated that both hormones and the immune system may act synergistically to cause injury to the hair follicle.

Since ketoconazole effectively treats the malassezia fungus that commonly inhabits the scalp, the researchers hypothesized that it may help to prevent hair loss by reducing inflammation from the fungus, in addition to having a direct anti-inflammatory effect. In this one study, men washed with ketoconazole 2% shampoo, used once every 2–4 days, leaving the shampoo on the scalp for 3–5 minutes before rinsing (as with the treatment of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis).

The researchers were guarded about the meaning of their results, saying that more rigorous studies on larger groups of men should be done to confirm the findings, both to evaluate the ideal dosage and formulation, and to assess the desirability of routine treatment in this condition. Although no further research in humans has been undertaken, there was a study on ketoconazole in 2005 that supported the existence of a stimulatory effect on hair growth, this time in mice.

Ketoconazole shampoo is only FDA approved for the treatment of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp, so while ketoconazole may possibly be useful as a hair loss remedy remains, the FDA does not accept that there is enough evidence to endorse or market it as one to the general public.
