Nizoral - A word of caution

ยป Nizoral Cream - Nizoral Cream Side Effects - Nizoral Cream Information
ยป Pharmacology: In vitro studies suggest that the antifungal properties of
ยป ketoconazole may be related to its ability to impair the synthesis of
ยป ergosterol, a component of fungal and yeast cell membranes. Without the
ยป availability of this essential sterol, there are morphological alterations
ยป of the fungal and yeast cell membranes manifested as abnormal membranous
ยป inclusions between the cell wall and the plasma membrane. The inhibition
ยป of ergosterol synthesis has been attributed to interference with the
ยป reactions involved in the removal of the 14 a-methyl group of the
ยป precursor of ergosterol, lanosterol.
ยป
ยป
ยป Indications: For the topical treatment of tinea pedis, tinea corporis and
ยป tinea cruris caused by T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes and E. floccosum ; and
ยป in the treatment of tinea versicolor (pityriasis) caused by M. furfur (P.
ยป orbiculare ); and in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis caused by P.
ยป ovale ; and in the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis caused by C.
ยป albicans .
ยป
ยป Contraindications: In persons who have shown hypersensitivity to the
ยป active or excipient ingredients of this formulation.
ยป
ยป
ยป Warnings: Ketoconazole cream should never be employed for the treatment of
ยป infections of the eye.
ยป
ยป To prevent a rebound effect after stopping a prolonged treatment with
ยป topical corticosteroids, it is recommended to continue applying a mild
ยป topical corticosteroid in the morning and to apply ketoconazole cream in
ยป the evening, and to subsequently and gradually withdraw the steroid
ยป therapy over a period of 2 to 3 weeks.
ยป
ยป Precautions: If a reaction suggesting sensitivity or chemical irritation
ยป should occur, use of ketoconazole cream should be promptly discontinued.
ยป
ยป Pregnancy and Lactation: Limited short-term studies in animals and in
ยป human volunteers on whom limited quantities of ketoconazole cream were
ยป tested have failed to demonstrate absorption of ketoconazole in detectable
ยป amounts. Due to the teratogenic nature of the active ingredient,
ยป ketoconazole, caution should be exercised when ketoconazole cream is
ยป administered to pregnant or nursing women.
ยป
ยป Cross-sensitivity with miconazole and other imidazoles may exist and
ยป caution is suggested when ketoconazole cream is employed in patients with
ยป known sensitivities to imidazoles.
ยป
ยป Adverse Effects: Short-term studies indicate that ketoconazole cream is
ยป well tolerated by the skin. During clinical trials, 43 (5.0%) of 867
ยป patients treated with the cream and 3 (1.8%) of 167 patients treated with
ยป placebo reported side effects consisting mainly of severe irritation,
ยป pruritus and stinging. One of the patients treated with ketoconazole cream
ยป 2% developed a painful allergic reaction (swelling of the foot).
ยป
ยป In rare circumstances, allergic local skin phenomena such as contact
ยป dermatitis have been associated with ketoconazole cream or one of its
ยป components, namely sodium sulfite or propylene glycol.
ยป
ยป Overdose: Symptoms and Treatment: There has been no experience with
ยป overdosage of ketoconazole cream. Treatment should include general
ยป supportive measures.
ยป
ยป
ยป Dosage: When clinically warranted, therapy with ketoconazole cream may be
ยป initiated while results of culture and susceptibility tests are pending.
ยป Treatment should be adjusted according to the findings.
ยป
ยป Ketoconazole cream should be applied to the affected and immediate
ยป surrounding area in patients with the following conditions: (see Table
ยป I).
ยป
ยป More resistant cases may be treated twice daily depending on patient
ยป response.
ยป
ยป Seborrheic dermatitis: Use twice daily for 4 weeks.
ยป
ยป The full course of therapy should be followed to reduce the possibility of
ยป recurrence. If however, there is no response within the recommended
ยป treatment period, the diagnosis should be re-evaluated.
ยป
ยป The safety of ketoconazole cream has not been established with treatment
ยป periods exceeding those recommended; therefore, treatment must not exceed
ยป the recommended duration of therapy indicated above.
ยป
ยป
ยป Supplied: Each g of white, odorless cream contains: ketoconazole 20 mg
ยป (2%). Nonmedicinal ingredients: cetyl alcohol, isopropyl myristate,
ยป polysorbate 60, polysorbate 80, propylene glycol, purified water, sodium
ยป bisulfite, sorbitan monostearate and stearyl alcohol. Tubes of 30 g. Store
ยป at room temperature, below 25ยฐC. Keep from freezing.
ยป
ยป IMPORTANT NOTE: THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT, NOT
ยป SUBSTITUTE FOR, THE EXPERTISE AND JUDGMENT OF YOUR PHYSICIAN, PHARMACIST

I tried nizoral cream 2% for the first time last night. I think I used too much because I felt a bit seasick ths morning. However, I also drank a cup of watermelon seed tea which is good for cleaning out your kidneys last night. Iโ€™ll take a two day break and try just the nizoral cream in a smaller amount. Hopefully everything will be normal.

When I first started my protocol, my head was numb for about 4 weeks; at the end of which new terminal hairs started sprouting.
