Hi guys,
I just did a HT a week ago, & starting to use Propecia as a daily miracle drug to keep my un-HT hair. But should I use Minoxidil as well? I understand Minoxidil does help a bit, but not as much as Propecia. Any suggestion? |

Iddie,
Propecia and Rogaine when used together have the best chance of helping maintain existing native hair with the possibility of regrowing hair. Please understand however that neither drug is a "miracle drug" and though they can certainly be effective hair loss treatments - that they won't regrow a full head of hair. I hope this helps. Bill

I haven't had a HT but I've been using Propecia/Minox for two years. Within a month I noticed less shedding, and within 3-6 months I discovered considerable new growth. Two years later I'm still maintaining! (and still using Propecia/Minox... I really think there's a synergy using the two together).

mistermike,
You are right on with your assessment and it's encouraging to hear that you've had success with the two. Do you have any before/after pictures you can post of using these hair loss medications? Bill
