Minoxidil foam and Nizoral

I have been using Nizoral since I was 20 years old, so for over 17 years. I use the shampoo 3-5 times a week and have not had any itching since then.

I would like to use Minoxidil foam for hereditary hair loss. Can I apply Regaine foam twice a day and use Nizoral at the same time?

Good evening,

You can combine both. Experience shows, however, that it is almost always sufficient to use Nizoral only once a week. Many also get by with larger intervals. In between, for example, using Head and Shoulders protects well against itching.

But that's just a side note.

All the best!

Warm regards, Dr. Höllering
