HairlossTalk said:The purpose of the anti-inflammatory shampoo (Tgel/nizoral) was to keep the scalp in good condition during the trials, nothing more. They knew that flaking can occur as you introduce changes to the hormonal structure of the skin on the scalp, most notably being a drying effect, increased sebum, oiliness, mixture... its a weird thing, but thats what sebborhea is. The shampoo controlls that.
The study was done a long time ago and since then people have had much greater success with Nizoral than TGel so its just usually recommended. It wasn't until later that some research was done on the other effects of the shampoo, and it was shown to have similar growth stimulating properties as 2% Rogaine. When I called them to get the official word on it, they refused to comment, because the FDA would put them in jail for making any claims like that without an official FDA trial... which would cost an arm and a leg and not be worth it for them.

Curious to know why you say that "people have had much greater success with nizoral.?' Data studies, subjective opinion, etc.
Frankly, I think there is great support for the notion that ANY anti fungal should be rotated to avoid having our little fungus friends adapt and overcome.
