Nizoral Shampoo

Nizoral Shampoo is used for:

Treating tinea (pityriasis) versicolor. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Nizoral Shampoo is an imidazole antifungal. It works by killing sensitive fungi by interfering with the formation of the fungal cell membrane and weakening it. The weakened cell membrane allows the cell contents to leak out and results in the death of the fungus.

Do NOT use Nizoral Shampoo if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Nizoral Shampoo

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Nizoral Shampoo:

Some medical conditions may interact with Nizoral Shampoo. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
• if you have low blood sugar levels, liver disease, or porphyria (a blood disease), sulfite sensitivity, or you drink more than 3 alcohol-containing drinks a day

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Nizoral Shampoo. Because little, if any, of Nizoral Shampoo is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.
