I am going to start taking fin this week and my derm prescribed me 2.5mg Finasteride 3 times a week. however, I can’t find any similar cases here on Reddit and wanted to know people’s opinion on doing this instead of just doing 1mg every day. Thanks! Most doctors (I’m included) will prescribe 1mgs/day of […]

I’m on topical finasteride and topical minoxidil. I’ve got a heavy shedding 2 weeks into treatment and it stopped. 3 months later the shedding is back after I stopped the medications.. Is it normal ? I’ve got dandruff due to minoxidil and I started ketokonazole. Is the shedding due to this? This second shedding episode […]
I’m 21 and have been on 2.5mg of Min and 1mg of Fin for about 6 months now. I don’t know when but I feel like I’ve gotten less intelligent. I can no longer recall random facts as well and my mental arithmetic speed has taken a noticeable decrease. I put it down to lack […]
This type of response is what I would expect in this age group
From my practice perspective, it runs about 2-4% consistent with what Merck reported; however, on Forums like Reddit, where many young men talk up side effects, it is far more common. I believe that this shows that men can easily talk themselves into the sexual side effects. I often, when joking, tell my young patients […]
I started topical Finasteride 5 months ago (fin/min 0.15%/7%), and after 5 weeks I started to shed HEAVILY so it’s been almost 4 months of continuous shed. I don’t know what to do. I have been applying Minoxidil for almost 10 years and the initial shed was never as bad as this. Most of the sheds […]
It’s always nice to see a radical change from our standard hair loss medications. In just 6 months, this man regrew much of his hair with finasteride and minoxidil. This tells me that he is susceptible to these drugs in a positive way.
Old Drug Now Called a “Magic Pill”, because it regrows hair and improves heart health (earth.com). The article suggests that Finasteride could lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Dr. Jaume Amengual, Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois, said, “men in a survey had a Cholesterol level 30 points lower than […]
I have been using finasteride for a few years and saw no real regrowth but my hair loss was definitely stable. I started to incorporate 5% topical min 2 times a day and dermarolling once a week to go with my fin. It is clear to me that the microneedling is what brought your hair back, […]
I am very impressed at such results, especially the microneedling, which clearly kick-started this process. If you stay on the microneeding for at least one year, you should get even better resutls.
I’ve recently started topical finasteride. The point is that the solution, called Alocare, is at 2.275 mg/ml. The prescription states that only 4 sprays must be applied on daily basis, each one of them containing 0,114 mg of finasteride. Is it too low? Only 0.456mg are applied daily… Opinion? Is it useless? Your confusion is at the heart of […]
I felt that the minoxidil was not working so I stopped it and added finasteride and dutasteride. Here are my 6 month results. 60% of men find that minoxidil will not work for them because their scalp lacks an enzyme that converts it into its active form. Taking oral minoxidil is not a problem as […]
These photos suggest that continued use will increase the benefits you are seeing. The suggestion from this photos is that the hair regrowth is heading in the right direction. You can add microneedling if it doesn’t respond and it may completely reverse the hair loss. How old are you?’
Nice early results suggest that you are getting some benefits. There is no point in using both topical and oral finasteride. The topical goes systemic so you might as well control what is happening to you. With the added topical finasteride, your systemic dose through the skin increases systemic levels more than you realize. Some […]
I’m 24 and have been on topical minoxidil and 0.3mg finasteride for 1 year now with no response. I’m depressed and see no future for myself. 60% of men will not respond to topical minoxidil. but 100% will respond to oral minoxidil. Men taking 0.3mg of finasteride are not getting the full benefit of this […]
