The delivery lasts for several days so 3x a week max should do the trick.
I use it with proscar as I have slight MPB on my crown and i just started the finestride with pics so Ill keep ya all updated. |
The use of Nizoral for MPB is highly debated, with plausible evidence on both sides of the argument. So, really the larger issue is not how often to use it, but does it actually do anything. Hardly anyone views McNeil's (maker of Nizoral) studies as credible. There is no hard evidence to prove that if Nizoral does exert anti-androgenic properties sufficient to aid in MPB, that the dose schedule used for fungal treatment, which is 2-3x/week, would be sufficient to treat MPB. So, why not use daily? Or in the case of 2%, as often as tolerated. McNeil's bogus study also showed little to no difference in efficacy b/w the 1% & 2%. I opt for the easy to obtain, less irritating, daily use of 1% shampoo. The cream is obviously not as user friendly.
