Does Nizoral Shampoo or Revita Shampoo Work as a Hair Loss Treatment?Many hair loss sufferers seeking hair loss help ask about Nizoral shampoo and Revita Shampoo on our hair restoration forum. Though no shampoo to date has been FDA approved as a hair loss treatment, there is some scientific evidence to suggest that ketoconazole, the ingredient found in Nizoral and Revita may help fight against Androgenetic Alopecia (genetic hair loss). This is because ketoconazole is said to be a "weak" inhibitor of Dihydrotestosterone or DHT (the hormone responsible for genetic male pattern baldness/female pattern baldness). Ketoconazole is said to work by preventing DHT from binding to hair follicles in the scalp.
