Nizoral over the counter 1% Gone

[Baldtom]

I bought about four bottles of Nizoral 1% last yr when it came back on the shelves . I have searched all the local CVS, Walgreens , Target , Walmart etc.. and Nizoral is gone. I asked a pharmacist and he said you can only get 2% by prescription. I have used 2% in the past and it was too harsh . I really liked to use the Nizoral twice a week and Jason Tea tree the rest of the time. Does anyone know why J&J took Nizoral 1% off the market ? Also does anyone know of another shampoo I can use in it place ?

Tom,

 

You may want to research Revita shampoo, which contains the same amount (1%) of Ketoconazole.

I just wanted to chime in and say that I've been using Revita shampoo for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and I am really enjoying the product so far. It definitely seems to be making my hair a bit healthier (at least from my perception), and from what I understand is a lot less harsh than Nizoral?! You are actually encouraged to shampoo with the Revita at least 5 times a week, to which I follow the instructions. I am 4 months and a little over a week from my hair restoration with Dr. Rahal, and my hair seems to like the shampoo and the vitamins I am using in conjunction with it. Not that my opinion matters.....but for what it's worth........ =)
