Working so far I think in reducing the redness, inflammation, burning and itching on my scalp. Still hasn't stopped the hair loss, but I have only been on it for a month. I did notice a sense of dizziness/ nausea when I first started taking it, but knew that it could happen and often times takes a little while for your body to get used to the medication. These feelings passed after about a week or two.
