Instead of Nizoral has anyone taken "ketoconazole"

"It is known that when ketoconazole is ingested orally, it inhibits the binding of androgens to receptors in the body and this would include the binding of DHT to hair-follicle receptors."

Nizoral IS ketaconazole. To my knowledge this drug is only available in shampoo and cream form, for rashes. I've never heard of an orally ingested version, I would think it would be dangerous to ingest and highly recommend against it. But talk to a doctor. Because I'm just a dude.

Yes dont drink Nizoral.

Minoxidil is ok though.

Ketaconazole can be taken orally (in its proper form - don't drink the damn shampoo)!!

It is a widely prescribed anti-fungal drug. By ingesting Ketaconazole, however, you bear the risks of systemic effects, rather than merely its topical application with Nizoral.

Stick with the shampoo.

Nizoral tabs are very bad for the liver.
