Does Anyone Know If Excessive Sebum Production Reduces The Effectiveness Of Minoxidil?

When I say "excessive sebum production", I mean I can wash my head and after a couple of hours it looks like I slathered it with olive oil. But don't get the wrong idea here, I always wash my scalp before putting on minoxidil. My concern is the sebum that's produced after I was wash my scalp and apply minoxidil.

What Stachu is saying is "ketoconazole" as found in Nizoral 2% anti dandruff shampoo.
It's also in "DS Laboratories Revita growth stimulating shampoo" and "Regenepure DR". Both are supposed to be the best shampoos to prevent hair loss, and both are designed to cleanse your scalp of sebum.
If you use minoxidil straight after washing your scalp with one of those shampoos then the sebum has been cleaned away so it's not there to get in the way of the minoxidil absorbing.
