Need Nizoral? The strength you need depends on your condition. Over-the-counter (OTC) Nizoral shampoos contain 1% ketoconazole, suitable for mild dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. These are readily available at most pharmacies and online retailers.
For more severe fungal infections like ringworm or tinea versicolor, or if OTC shampoos prove ineffective, your doctor may prescribe Nizoral tablets containing 2% ketoconazole. These tablets offer a higher concentration for systemic treatment, reaching deeper into the skin to combat the infection more effectively. A prescription is necessary for this stronger formulation.
Always consult a dermatologist or your physician before using Nizoral, especially if you have other health conditions or take other medications. They can diagnose your specific needs and recommend the appropriate strength and application method.
Remember, incorrect usage can lead to side effects. Follow the instructions on the product label carefully, or as directed by your doctor. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and seek medical attention.
