spectral dnc sounds good from what i gathered from their website. But i dont think that that's commercially available here either. I'll have to still to regaine until spectral dnc comes out, which looking at the product and what it offers, will be soon. The main point/concern for propecia was not the side effects (for me at least), but rather the synergy that minox/propecia seem to create for hair loss stabalization and or regrowth. Just minox wont or might not be the same and thats really the clarification that i'm looking for. Or am i setting too high a target and should just go for a minox solution ?

The main problem for me is that propecia is not at all available where i live (outside the US). The only available medication is Regaine 5%. I was considering asking for avodart as i havent enquired about it yet, but anything with propecia is apparently banned due to the side-effects that they have been known to cause. (Even though they're FDA approved) And like you guys suggested, I'm not a fan of Minox application either. I want to consider anything else that might be used.

Now that clears up a whole lot of things Thanks a lot guys for the info. So would you recommend that i start out with propecia or Propecia & Miniox? BTW, My HL pattern is typical for a 26 year old. Not heavy, but slow and steady (especially the temples). Thanks Again.

I've read in this forum a couple of times that the problem with stopping Minoxidil and then using propecia will cause all the hair that Minoxidil help regrow, to fall off again. Just scientifically speaking, if Minoxidil is regrowing hair by blocking the DHT in the scalp, and propecia overall in the body, then after say, a 3 month transition stage, wouldn't the end result of DHT being blocked remain the same ? I'm really interested in hearing from you guys on this one. Robert had said in one of his posts that he'd gotten good results and then stopped using Minoxidil and in 5 months, it was back to square one. Do you think if you/he had had a transition phase from Minoxidil to propecia, that wouldn't have happened. The idea is to use propecia and Minoxidil in the beginning to get the best effect and ??if' it works out, to stop using Minoxidil (owing to the application regime, greasiness etc) and switch to using propecia only. What do you guys think & how would you explain the hairloss as the scientific effect of using the 2 products is the same ???

Hi All, I have read a couple of posts that mention moving to avodart after using propecia for some time (1-3 years or so) and i was looking for some information on Avodart and its effectiveness. Can someone help clarify the differences between the two, and which is generally regarded as better ? Thanks.

Nice to see someone getting good results. Though the minoxidil you're using, is it 1 or 5 % ??

Do you require prescriptions for purchasing Finpecia and Fincar in any store in india ? or can you just buy them over the counter ? Just asking casue i dont want to go through the hastle of getting a prescription if it can be avoided. I mean, its literally going to be me going to the doc and telling him what to prescribe . :-)

Hi, I'm amazed to see the no. of advertisments for this product. I've tried to research user opinions on this product, but so far have found little if no information on the 'claimed' results. A Little too good to believe if you ask me.
