  1. Ah right I didn’t think there would be a problem other the Saw Palmetto I’ll have a look around and see if I can find anything.
  2. Thanks jr1986. I read that Dutasteride performed better with less side effects than finasteride which is why I was going to go down that route? I also read that oral meds were better performing than topical applications but I understand you’re more likely to suffer side effects with oral meds. would you recommend any other meds (apart from biotin and saw palmetto which I’ll continue to take)?.
  3. Hi Melvin, Tiger2050, StillAlive and Gatsby, am I using the forum correctly in my responses? should I just be using the topics within medication as a basis for my continued research or should I post a topic in the medication forum? Im just keen to progress and get the medication I need, once I understand what I need to buy. Thanks again.
  4. Cheers all for the advice so far. I’m getting the overwhelming verdict that I should be on the medication route rather than anything more invasive. So with that in mind should I continue taking the Saw Palmetto and Biotin or is there anything else I should be taking additionally? (Vitamins etc.) With regards to the Minoxidil 2.5mg and Dutasteride 0.5mg should I take these daily straight away or should there be a ramping up process? (Will there be any side effects or things to be aware of?) Where would be the best place the get both of the medications as I think the Minoxidil will require a prescription? Thanks again everyone, I appreciate all the advice given.
  5. Hi All, Mine is probably a similar story to others in that I’ve been using the forum to search for advice and tips etc. I’m now in a position where I’d like to post to get some specific advice and formulate a plan of action. my story; I’m nearly 42 years of age and haven’t taken any medication or had any surgery previously. My family history of hair loss is mixed. I noticed my hairline starting to recede around 18 months ago and have also started to notice thinning on top and around the crown. My hair in general is quite fine but I grew it long a few years ago so this has possibly hidden the loss until it became more obvious. I currently take Saw Palmetto and Biotin once per day and also use Watermans shampoo and conditioner but I’m not seeing much change. I’m debating moving onto prescription medication namely Dutasteride 0.5mg and oral Minoxidil 2.5mg to be taken daily. I’m also considering an FUE hair transplant, I’m thinking 2,000-2,500 grafts. my questions are: Should I be taking the Dutasteride and Minoxidil straight away and is 0.5mg and 2.5mg daily the best amount Should I be heading down the FUE transplant route? Many thanks in advance for any advice received.
