Hey guys. i was thinking about something and wanted some advice on it. I've been using Nizoral 2% and taking propecia for about 6 months now and it seems to be working pretty well. i use Nizoral 2% about twice a week and Nizoral 1% the rest of the time. My question is, if I was to pour a full bottle of nizoral 2% into the bottle of 1% and use it daily, do u think it would work as well? or do u think it would be too diluted to work properly? I also take 1000 mcg of biotin a day and one procerin before going to bed (just started doing that this week since i had a bottle left over. stopped taking propecia about 2 years ago and supplemented it with procerin in hopes of "miraculous" results i guess, but it didn't work. lost alot of hair so went back to propecia.) thanks in advance fellas

I don't think it would hurt anything. As in a matter of fact, I have been told that there really isn't that much of a difference between 1% and 2%. :)

You should never use Nizoral more than 3 times a week. There is no added benefit to such frequency. More is not better in this situation.

In fact, check out the side effects.

"What are the possible side effects?

Along with its needed effects, your medicine may cause some unwanted side effects. Some side effects may be very serious. Some side effects may go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. Tell your health care provider if you have any side effects that continue or get worse.

Contact your health care provider if you develop any new irritation, skin rash, blistering, redness, itching, or burning while you are using this medicine.

Other: Increase in normal scalp hair loss,dry skin, dryness or increased oiliness of hair and scalp, burning, stinging, itching. "

So I suggest you cut back to a few times a week.

hmm, i haven't had any side effects at all, however after reading this, i will continue doing what i'm doing and not mix the 2 to be used daily.

I personally am a bit skeptical about nizoral. I think whereas it might be really helpful for to those with greasy scalps, my problem is that mine is too dry. I think I'm going to go down the route of not washing my hair very often. I'm on 5 days and counting, and my hair feels good.

i'm just the opposite. i have very oily skin (use those clean and clear oil absorbing sheets for my face) and oily scalp. i tried washing my hair every other day and my hair was falling out like crazy.
