Nizoral is a pharmaceutical shampoo containing ketoconazole, which is the anti-fungal active ingredient. Nizoral shampoo should be used for treatment and prevention of dandruff and certain fungal infections of the skin, such as Pityriasis versicolor and seborrheic dermatitis.

Many people are asking us how to use Nizoral shampoo, as the instructions on the web (eg. Amazon) are very unclear. The instructions say the following: Use every 3 – 4 days for up to 8 weeks. What does that actually mean? The AntiDandruff.net team investigated the matter further. Some types of usage and dosage are described below.

Apply the shampoo directly on the affected part of the skin or scalp and rinse thoroughly with water after 3 to 5 minutes. Continue the treatment for several days after the cessation of all characters to prevent recurrent of disease.

  • Pityriasis versicolor: Use Nizoral 1x per day for 5 days.
