I've been on oral dut for 2-3 years but frontal hairline still receding and can see hairs miniaturising... just wondered whether direct topical minox with fin would give an extra defence and whether people had also done this.

Hello, Does anyone here have any experience of using oral finasteride/dutasteride and then using a topical minox/finasteride solution as well? I understand that the topical doesn't really effect DHT levels that dramatically so wondered whether they could in theory be combined for better results? thanks

Hey guys I’m going up from 2.5mg to 5mg oral minox after 2 years on 2.5mg I feel increased thinning again after stabilisation. what are peoples experiences of going up to 5mg in terms of hair growth? cheers

Thanks for this. What dose of oral minox do you take?

hi guys, I've been on oral minox (loniten) for around 2 years now, first 1.25mg then 2.5mg. I think it has definitely slowed progression. I am just upping my dose to 3.75mg as my derm is happy. Does anyone with experience of oral minoxidil recon I will see a tangible difference with increasing dose? My main area of concern is front hairline. thanks

Even if dutasteride taken at 0.5mg whereas finasteride at 1mg?

Is it possible to use dutasteride 0.5 + 1mg finasteride daily? would there be any difference in using this vs just dutasteride 0.5mg?

I stopped finasteride when switched to dutasteride. May switch back

Thanks for this. How long until you saw a difference on minoxidil? Where can I find your pics, pleasEe?

Hello ive been on finasteride and topical minoxidil 10% for 5 years. Has worked wonders and really strengthened my hair. Thought my hairline was stable until... last summer I went through lots of stress and lost weight. Few months after started seeing hairs on pillow and in shower. This continued until went to dermatologist who prescribed oral minox (loniten 1.25mg daily) and switched to dutasteride. hair shedding on pillow stopped but still notice hairs in shower on hands. Hair seems generally thinner than it used to be. And just noticing front hairline creeping back further. I’m 27 years old btw. Recently increased oral minoxidil to 2.5mg daily 2 weeks ago. Do people have any advice if worsens? Will oral mind hold hairline? am I out of options? advice appreciated
