Ketoconazole Shampoo

The science
behind our treatments

Hundreds of studies have been made on hair loss treatments, but the only two treatments that have been clinically proven are Oral Tablets and Minoxidil.

Sons is the Irish Licence holder for both.

1. Combined Treatment with oral tablet and topical minoxidil in male androgenetic alopecia: a randomised and comparative study – National Library of Medicine (2015)

2. Use of Oral Tablet in the treatment of men with Androgenetic Alopecia – Journal of the Academy of Dermatology (1998)

3. A one-year observational study with minoxidil 5% solution - Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology(2004)

Is this plan right for me?

If you have dandruff or any other scalp condition caused by yeast and funghi, such as Malassezia (which often the cause of dandruff), Sons Ketoconazole can help you treat the issue, and prevent it in the future.


Do not use if you are allergic to ketoconazole or any of the shampoo’s ingredients. If you have a severe scalp condition or open wounds, consult a healthcare professional before use.

Why hair loss
happens

Androgenic alopecia (often referred to as male pattern hair loss) is a condition that impacts men with a genetic sensitivity to the hormone DHT. Over time, DHT damages hair follicles, disrupting the hair growth cycle and eventually leading to hair loss.
