ScalpMed and Propecia

I started Scalpmed and stopped taking Propecia. About that time I experienced hair loss. That was about 4 months ago. I thought that Scalpmed would do a better job. Do you think that it was not the right thing to do?

I would suggest that you get back on Propecia, for its possible benefits. The result of stopping Propecia means that you played “catch-up hair loss” which means that you lost all of the benefits of the drug, something that happens over a period of about 4 months. I have seen some wonderful results and am generally enthusiastic about this drug as part of a master plan for stabilizing hair loss (at a minimum), but without the drug, you are exposed to the impact of DHT on the genetically impacted hair follicles.

ScalpMed appears to use minoxidil as an active ingredient but it does not stop the DHT from doing its job. Restart Propecia and pray. For more on ScalpMed (or Scalp Med), please see here.
