Buying and possessing 2% ketoconazole shampoo

[Circuit]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Connecticut

Hi, I'm experiencing male pattern baldness and so I have an interest in 2% ketoconazole shampoo. You can buy 1% ketoconazole shampoo without a prescription, but not 2%. Doctors do not prescribe the shampoo for treating hair loss even though there is overwhelming evidence that it can treat male pattern baldness.

So I'm wondering, is it legal to buy 2% ketoconazole shampoo online without a prescription? I don't think ketoconazole is a controlled substance.

it's odd that it would be considered to be a hair restorer since one of the noted side effects is alopecia.

and yes, keto whatever is available by prescription only

Trying to cure baldness with a product that can cause baldness seems a bit counterproductive, doesn't it?

Alas, listed side-effects don't actually mean the substance is responsible. All it really indicates is that X number of people reported it...

(This is how Viagra was discovered....quite by accident, because an unusually high number of patients taking the drug for blood pressure or angina reported a certain side effect)

but other side effects suggest this is not simply coincidental. Changes to hair texture. taking the curl out of a perm. various scalp issues.

Well anti-nausea drugs list as one of the side effects (possible) nausea. So .....

Did you know that sleeping pills can make you drowsy?

Shocking, isn't it?!

And don't even get me started on the likes of Gas-X, Pepto and Ex-lax.
