Looking for a Propecia Substitute

We all know thatLooking for a Propecia Substitute Propecia works in reversing some of the hair loss but then it has its side effects, not to mention the over-dependency on Propecia and sudden/more hair loss on its discontinuation.

Is there any good alternative to Propecia that really works in reversing the hair loss? And has lesser side-effects.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

In a word NO.
The only Hairloss meds that are currently FDA approved
are Finasteride and Minoxidil.
Both of which,if have any positive effect,need to be taken for as long as you wish to maintain the effect.
Unfortunately certain individuals will experience some side effects.
