Nizoral side effects, other Niz issues

I've started using this shampoo and I found below quote in one if the studies in the Nizoral link on top of the page. Does this mean that there is a risk of gyno, etc. when using this shampoo? (These risks are why I stopped using generic Propecia.)

Also,

- What is the recommended frequency of use?

- Do I need to wait a few minutes before rinsing to let it get absorbed?

- Is it OK to use conditioner after shampooing?

From the study:

"Ketoconazole, an imidazole anti-fungal agent, has often produced features of androgen deficiency including decreased libido, gynecomastia, impotence, oligospermia, and decreased testosterone levels, in men being treated for chronic mycotic infections."

Appreciate any info!

 		Those side effects, I believe, are related to the oral use of ketoconazole.

 		Yes, that's from oral use, so just be careful not to swallow too much

 		Thanks. That's a relief.

Although looking that Niz survey here it looks like not many people have seen much success with it. At least it looks like it can't hurt.

 		Nizoral is really only good for controlling dandruf and slowing loss/maintaining what you have. It has been proven to thicken the hair shaft and reduce scalp sebum, which are all good things, so it's a no-brainer for people with AGA.

 		It's a shampoo, obviously you can't get back from a NW7 from it, but as Matt said it is definitely the easiest way to keep your hair thick and slow down your loss.

 		I have used Nizoral for 4 years, not sure how much regroth I got from it but it does cleanse the scalp good as well as fight Seb Derm.
