I have reviewed the “supplement” listed at the Follicare website for ingredients. I can say, right off, that they seem to have put everything but the kitchen sink into the product. I do not believe it will be harmful if taken with Propecia.

I properly inform my patients of the risk, try to mitigate that risk, and am very supportive if it happens. I can not guarantee what will happen to the native hair that is there and which may react poorly to a hair transplant by undergoing shock loss. I have not had a case of shock […]
There are no studies that go out more than 10 years. My own experience takes me to ten years. As long as you take it, if there were ever benefits, they will be retained to some degree over the lifetime that you take the drug.
I would doubt that it would regrow from minoxidil. Hair transplants work well. See this previous post for more on triangular alopecia.
It is certainly possible that you have both seborrhoeic dermatitis and male pattern hair loss. The two are not connected and seborrhea does not cause hair loss. Saw palmetto is not a good DHT blocker, as is claimed by many. There are only two DHT blockers that are proven to work (finasteride and dutasteride). You […]
There is no documented adverse effect of Propecia on the kidneys. Propecia use is safe in patients with renal failure. Propecia is being eliminated from your body by two different ways: Excretion in the urine (39%) Excretion in the feces (57%) This means, even if you have severe kidney failure, your body can get rid […]
I doubt that you can cut a pill in 10 equal sections unless the pill is large enough — and the generic Proscar (finasteride 5mg) that I’ve seen is not that big. That being said, you can always try! It actually looks to be equal in size to 1mg Propecia, if that helps any. Propecia […]
Undescended testis is a congenital disorder that is seen in male infants. Most cases will spontaneously improve within the first 4-6 months. If it persists untreated after this age, it will increase the chance of infertility and testicular cancer in adulthood. Propecia is not indicated for use in pediatric patients, and women should not handle […]
Many aspects of the mechanism of action of Rogaine and finasteride (Propecia) are still unknown, and for that same reason we do not know why they work on the vertex better than the temple and frontal area. I can guess that reversal of frontal hair loss is very rare, because by the time the treatments […]
Dry scalp will not cause hair loss in itself. A small number of people who use minoxidil have told me that they experience drying of the scalp secondary to the inactive ingredients that may irritate the scalp. Those users generally stop using the medication. Minoxidil is a topical drug used for the treatment of hair […]
Taking Propecia for only four months is a relatively short time. I would wait out a full year before concluding what will happen to you. Get your hair mapped out for miniaturization to get detailed metrics for what is happening on your head. When this is done before and after starting Propecia (after 12 months […]
If the Propecia was in a sealed bottle, it would probably be ok. I won’t recommend taking it, but I do recommend reading this article from Newsweek published a couple weeks back — Do You Take Expired Medications?. Contact your prescribing doctor for the final word on what you should do. With regard to your […]
The only way I can recommend to minimizing your progressive hair loss — and yes, it is progressive, because that is the nature of the beast — is to take finasteride 1mg (assuming you are a male). If you do not take this medication, you will most likely continue to bald, because that is what […]
Propecia (finasteride 1mg) will give you the benefit of slowing down futher hair loss or even reversing some of the loss. It compliments your hair transplant surgery, especially the hair on your crown area. The transplanted hair will stay, but the hair around it may still be genetically determined to fall out. This is why […]
That is a very good question. In my practice I generally tell my patients (if they are experiencing any negative sexual side effects which occur in about 1% of patients) to cut the pill in half and and then take a half pill daily. It is better to do this than take one pill every […]
