Who buys it, and why
Ketoconazole shampoo refers to antifungal shampoo containing ketoconazole, sold over the counter at 1 percent and on prescription at 2 percent, used against dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. People search it to compare brands, learn how often to use it and read about its use in hair loss routines alongside minoxidil. In practice, buyers include people with flaky scalps and men following hair loss advice from creators and forums. The rise follows growing scalp-care content and the hair loss routine trend. Scalp care brands, bundles and educational content compete in an established pharmacy category with clear repeat purchases.
