What Can Someone with MPB Do If Doctors Won’t Prescribe Finasteride?

hi doc
i have serious miniaturisation but the doctors i met didn’t even look at my hair closely and gave me some vitamin pills. what can mpb sufferers do if the doctors wont prescribe drugs like proscar? i seriously doubt those docs have heard about fin

The answer seems pretty obvious to me, but if the doctor you went to won’t prescribe you finasteride to treat your MPB, seek out another doctor. It might be possible that you don’t have genetic hair loss, in which case, finasteride wouldn’t be necessary.

Finasteride has been available for over a decade, so I don’t know how your doctor might’ve not heard of it. It sounds like your doctor didn’t understand hair loss if he didn’t even examine your scalp.

I should also point out that if you were looking specifically for a Proscar prescription to treat your hair loss, your doctor should prescribe it with the direction to cut the pill into 4 pieces. Propecia is for treating hair loss, Proscar is a higher dose for treating the prostate.
