Thanks for the replies. Sometimes we are right, sometimes we are wrong. The only way for us to learn more is to share our opinions and experiences. It's humanely. Best wishes.

I read that a clinic in Australia was using them with some impressive results on Dr Rassmans blog, though he warned that there is the possibility of serious complications, and it seems as if spex is using them.
Why was it then made into a topical ?

Hi Where'd It Go,

Think Blondie put it on one of her previous posts

Propecia did not (as it doesn't work on the follicles directly like minoxidil, it has an indirect effect by reducing circulating DHT). If propecia was to have a direct effect at the target site then it would have been marketed as a topical treatment, claiming low systemic absorption (like minoxidil does).

Blondie is a guy. You can read it in his language even without looking at his public profile.

Thanks for clearing that up mmhce. I have never thought about my style of writing before. Although, I am starting to think my profile name is somewhat effeminate lol!
