Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Applied Pharmacy just finished compounding an over the counter (no prescription required) shampoo and a gel with 2.5 % Minoxidil and 1 % ketoconazole (Nizoral) Minoxidil (brand name: Rogaine) is an anti-balding drug that is applied directly to the scalp. Minoxidil is not a cure for baldness, but it has been shown to retard recent hair loss and to stimulate new hair growth, particularly in the crown of the scalp in certain men. Ketoconazole (brand name: Nizoral) is an antifungal used in anti dandruff shampoos that blocks the effect of DHT on hair follicles. You can read about a study using it for hair loss here: http://www.hairlosshelp.com/html/nizoral1study.cfm The Shampoo will cost 25.00 for 4oz for now and the Hair Gel 50ml will cost 15.00. I am glad they kept the price low! I am using both products and so far so good. I leave the gel on my hair all day. It is clean and it dries up just like a regular hair gel. I have taken "before" pics and will do the same in 6 months.Applied Pharmacy's web site is appliedpharmacyrx.com Regards, Vergelpowerusa dot org Quote
