    Hey @Perry, if you don’t mind me hijacking this thread and asking a trivial question: why is nizoral the only ketoconazole shampoo I can find? I’m a lab tech at at soap and skincare company but we don’t touch hair products so no one here is really an expert in the area. I use nizoral and it seems to me they have no competition.

    Here in CH, there are others which contain also 2% and all these are prescription drugs whilst the 1% Terzolin is an OTC shampoo (click HERE).
    Ketoconazole is, compared to other topical azole-antimycotics the least lipophilic one i.e. easiest to work into a shampoo whilst all others are used in creams or nail varnish.

    That’s without the taxes (minimum ~4 Euros and up to ~10 Euros) ;) .
    It’s one of the less expensive meds we have, paracetamol 500 mg with 20 pills is probably the cheapest one for € 2,50 to 3.-, Aspirin 500 mg with 20 pills goes for € ~9.00.
