Don't take dutasteride and Nizoral together?

[Guest]

Hey all,

I was on dutasteride.com, and it says do not take dutasteride with ketoconazole (Nizoral).

Is this right? Has anyone heard this anywhere else?

Thanks!

Never heard that before. What was their reasoning?

They don't like each other.

Just don't tell the dutasteride that you're using nizoral. It can't read your thought(s).

Just curious - did the site mention whether the ket was oral or topical?
