Can Hair Regrown with Propecia Become Minoxidil Dependent?
Doctor,
If you’re already taking propecia and later add minoxidil can the hair the propecia is saving become minoxidil dependent? If not, why not? I know they work differently. If the body can become dependent on many drugs (whether it originally needed that drug or not) why not hair that has been medicated for long periods and then that drug suddenly stopped?
Any growing hairs that are miniaturized can be benefited by minoxidil. If it were to benefit from the drug with a visible reversal of hair loss, then I would suspect that a minoxidil dependence could develop.
