I don't hold minoxidil in the highest of regards due mainly to the fact that it requires a lot of effort to slow the process not stop it. Seems pointless when I don't actually mind having to pay more for more transplants because the process isn't slowed down. I did like the effects finasteride had but reading up on its mechanism of action I'm not surprised there are side effects, I'm also a pharmacist so I wasn't overly surprised there were sides when I read about how the drug works . I will contact some of the doctors mentioned and let you know how I get on. Thanks again for your help and support guys. Great forum.
Ohh and happy new year
