Sooo... How does one go about starting treatment with this drug? Do we have to wait until it's commercially released as a topical cream, or would my dermatologist/GP be able to prescribe some form of the drug anytime soon?

 

I'm suffering from alopecia areata, which only started in april, so I'm looking to stop further hair loss asap. Went from being a smoker and somewhat of a heavy drinker, pretty much neglecting my diet, to eating fish several days per week, and taking multivitamins, probiotics, biotin, anti-stress herbs (ashwaganda and rhodiola, or something along those lines), ginkgo baloba, fish oil+++, I've even bought lipogaine...

 

This stuff though, this stuff gives me hope I'll be able to cut the fish and healthy mumbo jumbo, and get back to the cigarettes and frozen pizzas whilst still sporting a healthy head of hair! Where do I sign??

 

EDIT:

Great... Just found out the pharmaceutical industry, Pfizer that is, are raping consumers with a price tag of $25.000/yr for the 5mg version of the drug (in the trial where they cured alopecia universalis there were 2 months of 10mg, followed by 6 months of 15mg doses). I'd have to sell my car and then go to the US hoping to convince a doctor to prescribe me a pretty much brand new drug, and it's only approved for Rheumatoid Arthritis, not curing baldness...

I havent verified those figures but if that's true that's poor form in charging that much. It would be typical from the drugs industry though.

Pity I just heard about this drug and was wondering would it also cure male pattern baldness got my answer though, no connection to Alopecia therefore very unlikely :-(

Completely agree with Bill. I did order online (only once) for cheap proscar and it didnt work. I learned my lesson I now get Proscar cut into 4ths which doesnt cost as much as i thought and the most important thing is I KNOW its Legit.

I bought from 4rx and they didnt work for me im now back for buying over the counter. More ?‚¬ but at least i know its legit.

Hi T1wave,

Same thing happened to me when i ordered. I learned my lesson im not ordering off the web again and staying local and buying from the chemist. Fortunately i dont have to rebook and ?‚¬100 appointment with my HT doctor he sent the prescription through the post which was pretty cool of him

If you are ordering off the web i posted some tips here

Hi all,

Going against the recommended warnings from many on this site (eg Bill)

I tried to reduce the cost of my hairloss regime so i posted on this site to find a website that suited. I was recommended 4rx so i ordered from them. Delivery was ok however 3months later i noticed an increase in hairloss and a loss of small sides(meaning tolerable sides) that came from the over the counter finas(Which worked). I asked 2guys who also ordered from this site and they also felt the same abour the drugs. Also they DO SPAM. imagine opening up your email box with an email saying "your erection will be huge with using drug X"

Im warning people (even though $$$) that the best solution is to buy over the counter(as they say in Ireland "to be sure, to be sure" cause you no that works)

However if you REALLY want to beat the price here are some signs that you should look out for on online pharmacies:

1) When going to the order page it should read in the address bar in the top left hand corner https (s=secure) your ebanking accounts will have that indicating a secure webpage. Scam websites dont bother as it will only be http.

2) Also in Ireland customs regulations prohibit the sending of prescription drugs which is the same for many countries. Therefore when entering your credit card details. When it asks you to select the country you live in it should NOT show all the countries in the world but round a handful. Scam websites deliver everywhere for obvious reasons while the good websites should not supposedly.

Hope this helps others.

No real damage was done though for me and my hair im back to buying over the counter.

Seems like a lot of trouble, 2 tablets daily and a gel. You will have to pay $. I just bought a normal haircutter. Cheaper and You can style it the way you want(its not as hard as you think).

Maybe RanchCorp could of made a way to stop hairloss rather than hairgrowth.

Hi guys,

Just heard about a new herb that works better than Finas and DUT called Red Maca and heard from an experienced source. Has anyone heard of this? and what do you make of this? any other info? using it and what not..

Claims made to reduce DHT significantly and increase libido.

Welcome to the site Mister,

prescription in Ireland was ?‚¬100 and the proscar was ?‚¬50 for only 4 months so i had to do something to reduce my costs so i posted a while ago asking for some websites and i got references from experienced people of this website which recommended websites (here),

i dont know how much it costs in America

Regards,

Irish

I understand,

Take into consideration the comments above but if you really want to buy generic dutasteride i posted on here a while ago asking where to buy and i got some websites recommended by experienced people on this website ( here )

Look at Leesons recommended websites

Irish

Hi guys,

The average person looses roughly 100 per day. Does anybody know or is there an average amount of hairs you should expect to see in the shower/bath.

A guy posted said that he was worried about seeing average of 20hairs in the bath tub but i didnt think that was a huge cause for concern as i think i my have on average a little more than that and i seem to be stable.

Hi Karthik,

Good question i posted on here a year go asking the same question (here)

I have been using a concealer with Minoxidil for about a year now the same way you have been doing and also washing my hair every 2 days (as recommended) with no problems. But i dont think there is any way around the problem. I have a apray concealer so it turns a little gooey but its still good. I do imagine though that the Minoxidil will dry into the scalp better without the concealer but i have been managing fine.

good luck

Hi CantDecide,

If you experienced sides with finasteride then its very likely you will have the same or worse sides with Dutasteride as its a much stonger drug. Dutasteride is a better drug as outlined by Jojo but its pretty new so longterm damage is not fully assessed.

Try looking into Minoxidil 15% on Amazon just google it, it claims its a DHT inhibitor but do your research on it.

Hi Jojo,

yeah should really update my signature its not 1/4 proscar anymore its now 1mg finasteride from 4rx.

Those emails spam are so annoying!! Im a computer student and use my emails alot and they are pretty out there with regards to sex life emails

Irish

Must be the recession affecting everyones mood

Hi Jojo,

Yeah i no what you mean about delivery. In Ireland they have a law blocking prescribes drugs entering the country ib customs. Because of this many websites dont deliver to Ireland. However some websites such as 4rx.com deliver to Ireland because they package it in a certain way. I too had my doubts about 4rx so i sent a private message to Peter88 who recommended the website and posts regularly here. He said the drugs do work as he had to stop using them because he was going to have a child and his hairloss came back and when he restarted his hairloss went away again which proves that the stuff is ok. I saved a bunch dont have to pay doctor for prescription ?‚¬100 and proscar ?‚¬50 for only 4 months. So i ended up buying from 4rx which so far they seem grand. My only complaint is that now i get spam emails from pharmacies not sure if its from 4rx but its really frustrating as the emails are about selling viagra and about what viagra could do for my sex life. When i was looking for websites that sell proscar i must of logged on or something to one of the dodgy ones.

Anyway 4rx.com is the website i oredered off they seem ok and the tablets are similar to ones sold all legit websites. But its up to yourself

Regards,

Irish

i agree with Peter88 i posted a topic on where to purchase legit proscar and Dutas online (here)(here)

There is a good few websites there recommended by hair society forum members

Regards,

Irish

Hi calv,

I posted a similarquestion and Leeson replied on my post with website addresses with cheap Dutas (here)

i would recommend to only upgrade to Dutas if you havent experienced any sides with Proscar as it is a stronger drug

regards,

Irish

Hi david,

The big three for stopping hairloss are Minoxidil which i would recommend 5% but if you like you can get stronger up to 15%(BUT I PRESUME BIGGER INCREASE IN SIDES) Nizoral shampoo and 1mg per day of proscar

regards,

irish

Hi Dane22,

i posted a topic on where to buy Proscar or Avodart for cheap and i got a feast of websites from members of this hair society forum posted (here)

Hope that helps,

Hi dontwantbald,

I order from http://www.minoxidil-direct.co.uk/index.htm and i think they are best suited for you on price and delivery to UK

regards,

irish

i order from 4rx had my doubts but so far have no complaints i posted about where to buy proscar (here)

got the website from that post Peter88 made a strong claim that the stuff sold there is legit as he was using it ok but had to get off it as he was going to have a child and his hairloss came back but when he went back on it his hairloss went away again.

So yeah i order from 4rx and have no complaints

regards,

Irish

Yeah i posted on this site about where to buy Proscar (here)

I ended uo buying from 4rx. So far everything is running smooth and In a private message tp Peter88 he made a pretty good claim that the stuff sold there is legit as he had to go off as he had a baby and his hairloss came back but when he went back on his hairloss went away again.

Yep no complaints from me about the Fin from 4rx.com but i too had my concerns given where it came from and how it was packaged(it was packaged like that to get it past customs)

Regards

irish

Hi Jojo,

If you suffer from side affects from the finasteride then it will be the same or even worse with the Dutasteride. Dutasteride is a stroger drug and should only be taken by those who have taken Fin and have not have experienced side affects. I suggest to go back on the Fin with 1mg a day if you can withstand... or try Rogaine and Nizoral shampoo

Also another consideration is a concealer that goes with your regime. I personally have a spray on concealer(works really well) but it kinda mixes with the minox i put on, as i only wash my hair(as recommended) every 2 days so the day i dont wash my hair i have smugy brown stuff when the minox is put on but its not a huge problem. Just a consideration...

Regards,

Irish

its the one i use and its working okay for me but......i hope your not going to buy off that website
