Can 2% ketoconazole shampoo damage the hair in long term use?

hairsurvivor
I read Nizoral with ketoconazole 2% is an anti-dandruff shampoo which could contribute to slow down hair loss. But is it really safe for my hair in the long run if I use it as an hair loss treatment (1-2 times a week)? Thank you
