Hair loss is not a common side effect of ketoconazole shampoo. However, ketoconazole shampoo may cause side effects like dry or oily hair or a dry scalp, which may result in itchy hair. An itchy scalp may worsen your scalp's sensitivity and can lead to hair loss.

Because of its potential for severe adverse reactions including hepatotoxicity, ketoconazole has been withdrawn in many countries and has strict labeling in the United States recommending that it be used only when other effective antifungal agents are not available or tolerated.

Ketoconazole creams and shampoos can be used by most adults and children aged 12 years and over. Ketoconazole is not suitable for everyone.
