Frequently asked questions

What does Nizoral Anti-Dandruff treat?

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff (Ketoconazole) may be used to treat blastomycosis, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, cutaneous candidiasis, oral candidiasis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How does Nizoral Anti-Dandruff work?

Nizoral Anti-Dandruff is a azole antifungal. Azole antifungals block a fungal enzyme (lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase) that the fungus needs to make ergosterol, a key building block of its cell membrane. Without enough ergosterol the membrane becomes leaky and unstable, which stops the fungus from growing and can cause it to break apart and die.

How is Nizoral Anti-Dandruff rated?

pharmaranks gives Nizoral Anti-Dandruff a composite score of 3.5 out of 5, currently based on 1 weighted source (FDA regulatory recall-safety data weighted highest). See our methodology at /how-we-rate.

How much does Nizoral Anti-Dandruff cost?

Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $0.27 per gm, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins.
