Alright, so we have Minoxidil, Propecia, Rogain and Finasteride. Finasteride is out because of the before mentioned reason. But any other drug I should know about? (1)
And, Ontop, you suggested rogain, and 1966 you suggested minoxidil. Just a quick readup and I think Rogain is the original Med. And minoxidil is the generic one, or? (2) Is the effect the same or would one prefer the original brand name (Rogain)? (3)
How are the different drugs applied? (4)
I usually have a sensible scalp. In fact I always use Head and Shoulders shampoo as most shampoos will give me scalp problems.
Which med. Would you all recommend for efficiency? (5) And if my scalp can’t deal with that, then what would you recommend? (6)
And one last question. All the drugs seem to say that if you stop, you’ll lose the hair that it has helped you keep. Does this mean that it will fall off within short time or just that the natural process that have been haltered, will reappear and you’ll slowly lose the hair again? (7)
So if you want a HT in the future, one will even then continue to do the meds, or will one stop and let the hair fall off till it naturally stops and then do the HT? (8)
Have a nice day, and thank you all for your replies! It’s greatly appreciated.
