Nizoral Treatment

How Does Nizoral Treatment Work?

When you first hear of Nizoral treatment, you probably ask yourself two questions...

First: What does Nizoral Treatment do?

Second: How does Nizoral Treatment work?

We'll answer the first question first and the second question second: Nizoral is an anti-fungal treatment used to get rid of skin and other infections. The actual formula that makes up Nizoral is called Ketoconazole, while Nizoral is the Johnson and Johnson trademark name applied to the formula.

Second: Developed to help fight infections for immunocompromised patients, such as people suffering from AIDS or other diseases, Nizoral essentially disrupts fungal growth by breaking through cell walls to stop the fungus from growing in its tracks. Sorry, but to explain it any more in depth than that would require a glossary the size of the dictionary.

One more question you're probably asking: What can it do for ME?

Well, it's actually the primary ingredient of dandruff shampoo.

While it's largely been replaced by more fast-acting treatments when it comes to internal use, nizoral remains the primary treatment for topical, over the counter medications and anti-fungal products. This means that it's used in everything from jock itch medication to yeast infection treatments to athlete's foot remedies and so on and so forth.

But, it can actually do much more than simply treat and prevent fungal infections...

A number of studies conducted in the nineties showed that nizoral can actually stimulate hair growth under certain conditions. It was shown to help grow hair in lab mice, and later was shown to help reverse certain hair loss conditions in men suffering from androgenic alopecia, or male pattern baldness.

Some studies showed the formula to work just as well as minoxodil, while others showed it to only have marginal potency at best.

In other words? Results are inconclusive.

Does this mean that you can't rely on nizoral to regrow hair? Well, yes and no. The inconclusive nature of the studies conducted thus far have only proven that nothing has yet been proven... If you're suffering from male pattern baldness, all that really matters is the results. Never mind if the scientific community would call nizoral regrowing your hair an "anecdotal" incident: What works, works.

Minoxodil has been proven to often times be effective at regrowing hair, while nizoral has been proven to be a probably hair loss solution. In other words, it's probably just as likely to regrow your hair as minoxodil, and it's really up to you to try them both separately and see which one works for you.

The truth about these studies is that they did, in fact, show nizoral to have some effect on hair regrowth, however, the scientists and researchers involved in these studies did not find the results to be conclusive enough to call it a day, so to speak. Studies continue to be conducted regarding the effectiveness of the treatment.

It's odd how the scientific community works, sometimes. For example, there's actually a drug out there that can cure cancer, no joke. Why isn't it on the market? Well, because the formula is really just a simple chemical, and until the pharmaceutical companies developing the drug can figure out how to copyright it and make it their own in order to set the price wherever they please, they're not willing to release it to the public.

There are a lot of scientific studies conducted, a lot of medicines invented and a lot of groundbreaking discoveries that wait years and years to see the light of day. The scientific process calls for a lot of study, the pharmaceutical industry calls for a lot of red tape, and the world of medicine calls for a lot of regulation.

So the end result for nizoral is that it is FDA approved under certain terms: It is not, officially, considered to be a hair-growth formula, but, it can legally be advertised and marketed as such.

The real truth about hair regrowth products, however, is this: Not everything works for everybody. You may not even be suffering from male pattern baldness in the first place, for example. Sometimes hair loss is the result of stress, sometimes it's the result of damaged follicles or scalp. Sometimes it happens because people perm and dye and straighten and curl and tease their hair a little too much, and the hair simply gets sick of it and falls out of their scalp. There are a lot of potential causes for hair loss, and the process of treating the problem by trying different products involves a kind of detective work.

The cheapest route, actually, is to try several different hair regrowth formulas and see which one works. Make sure you pay close attention to what, exactly, that treatment treats, how it works, who it works for, and so on and so forth. Once you find the one that solves your problem, you know what the problem is, and now you're free to shop around for the best, most effective and cheapest products in that category.

The alternative is to go to your doctor and pay a hospital bill that will cost several times the price of the various treatments... Of course, as they say, consult your physician before using any treatment, but it's better to just ask them about it at the next visit than it is to pay for dozens of tests to be conducted on your scalp.

What you want to do is conduct a scientific experiment of your own: Get a number of hair growth treatments. Try minoxidil, folligen, and nizoral. Try each one separately. So for one month, try minoxidil. For the next month, try nizoral, the next, folligen and so on.

If nizoral or minoxidil works, you're probably suffering from male pattern baldness. If folligen works, it probably has to do with scalp damage. If none of these work, then your hair loss may well be the result of emotional stress, in which case, you can treat it with... Well, a nice long vacation and more leisure time now and then.
