Well, I tend to be a bit more paranoid about absorption than any doctor I’ve ever talked with.  And that’s because over time my particular body has shown clear systemic effects from topical cortizone, dovonex, and tazorac used in very small doses.  I don’t know that there have been absorption tests with Nizoral used on the broken skin that psoriatics may have on the scalp, or elsewhere on the body as the stuff washes off in the shower. That said, I’m not entirely paranoid about using a Nizoral shampoo, but I’d keep close watch for anything that could be a side-effect. J.
