Where to get Nizoral Shampoo in Toronto (Canada) area?

lyrisius · May 13, 2011

I've been looking online to try to find where to get Nizoral Shampoo in Canada, and am not having much success. I'm new to this site and all of the information available for hair loss, so maybe that is affecting my search. Even in the GourmetStyleWellness Shop here I can't seem to find it -- am I missing something?

The only one place that I did find it (in Canada) so far was here: http://www.pharmacy-online.ca/drug.jsp? ... toconazole
But it seems unreasonably expensive. Is that normal? ($30 for 120mL...) I can't afford this as a student... How long does that much shampoo last when used every 3 days? Any ideas?

I did find another site, but it says it requires a prescription: http://www.saverxcanada.com/drugs/Nizor ... poo/2%2525

And based on the page on Nizoral Shampoo here on the site (http://www.gourmetstylewellness.com/hair-loss-t ... /index.php), I'd prefer to start with trying the 1% formula, which is apparently harder to find. (I'm super sketched about side-effects and don't think I will ever try anything like Minoxidil or Propecia!)

Any recommendations or pointers (or related advice) would be really helpful and appreciated. Thank you!

Do you have to buy it online?

The 2% is available at pretty much any Shoppers Drug Mart... do you live near one? I also saw it available at the Rexall pharmacy so its probably available at most drug stores. The 60ml I found was around $10, and the 120ml was around $17.

Hmm there seems to be a shortage in the US as well.

Can't be a coincidence, either it's getting pulled (I doubt it) or word has really got out about the stuff, and there's a temp shortage in north america.

If you run out I'm rowing over with a boat of the stuff.

Cheers!
I found the $17 bottle at Shoppers Drug Mart.
Thanks so much. No, I didn't need an online vendor. I just wanted to know where I could get it before going on a search potentially fruitlessly, and I figured that my online searches might reflect the accessibility of the product locally.

Now to see if this helps...
(And how long it will last for such a price.)
