Do Hair Loss Meds Work Better for Certain Ethnicities?

Thanks for your blog. From your internet advice I’ve been on finasteride for 1 year and Rogaine for 1 month. I’m 25 years old and have had fairly aggressive hairloss in the last 2 years. The treatment above has drastically slowed the process, and my girlfriend claims after one year on finasteride, my hair looks much healthier.

My question for you is, based on the variety of patients you’ve encountered, has finasteride and / or rogaine shown to be more effective for certain ethnicities than others?

Thanks again!

From my experience I haven’t noticed ethnic variations in the efficacy of Propecia.
