Hi Sam,

I was on Finax and then moved to finpecia. Using it for a year now...i havent had any side effects till now...my doc had asked me undergo liver tests i.e. SGOT and SGPOT every 6 months to ensure that it does not effect the liver.

No Sexual effecs till date...honking as always and gf also never complained.

Hi Ashok,

I have been using Nanogen for the past 2 yrs. I get it from Richfeel for about 1900 for 12g. The basic requirement for a concealer to work is that the scalp should have some hair to hold it. I have been using it for 2 yrs and no one has ever detected it. I have been extremely happy with it however i really want to stop it as I have to shampoo my hair everyday.

Sandip

Hello Dr. Madhu,

Glad to know that you have responded to Bill's email and sharing your pics. Just to let you know that Bill and his team are having a tough time getting a gud doc in India which would help us Indians. We all hope that that this forum finally gets one gud doc in India. However we also hope that your rates would be affordable after you get to the list.

Regards,

Sandip

Hi Bill,

This is great news..Any other docs that u think can be considered for recommendation...Bishen Mahadevia, Dr. Rajesh Rajput..

Sajit

Hi,

Its been sometime that I have actually visited this forum....now I read a lot about Dr.Madhu...i am really inquisitive to know more abt this doc...and i also hear that he does not respond to emails. Can we try and consolidate a list of his patients...and then track each ones progress..v may end up marketing this doc but it would also help us indians finally decide if this doc is worth discussing.

Any opniions guys!!!!

hi chetan,

read as much as you can on this forum...trust me its more of awareness and then medications..and then visit a dermatologist.

It's hard to tell based on the quality of the photos, but it does appear that your bald spot is less noticeable now than it was prior.

 

Have you considered using Propecia as well?

 

Thats correct...even i find it difficult to when i see..its been the same since years now...in fact th earlier pics taken six months ago was when i used to keep my hair a bit long...and the recent one is where i have kept my hair pretty short...so i think if the bald spot is less noticeable..something is working...he he... ..i am taking finpecia..a generic version on propecia...so do u advise that i go for propecia...i am not sure if i would get it in india.

Best wishes,

HI Bill,

This is what I do..

apply 1 ml just after morning shower and then go to work.

apply 1 ml just after evening shower after coming back from work.

I take 2 showers as I was informed that scalp should be clean before application.

Sandip

When do people usually start seeing these side-effects?

Hi drmstx,

I had consulted a doc here and he advised that smoking not linked to hair loss.

I have been on finastride for more than a year now and havent experienced any side effects...so u gud to go..

Hi Guys and Drmstx,

 

I had my HT done by Dr. Pathuri Madhu 15 days before. I got 2720 grafts, and he charged me around Rs. 68000. He charges Rs. 25 per graft. I am satisfied with the result. "

 

Hi Ayaz,

 

Grt to know that u r happy with the HT. Can you send ur pics to Bill. I think this would help him analyse the results and thus help on our search for a gud doc in India...

hi shah,

have u been able to talk to some of his earlier patients...or meet them...I beleive most docs would ask u to on Finastride before HT...

sandip

Dr. Cooley,

I am little confused...

1) So do you suggest that Finastride should be taken everyday or thrice a week?

2) How would one come to know what dosage is helpful i.e. daily or thrice a week.

3) Would using Nizoral shampoo give the same benefit as provided by finastride.

Sandip

Hi Bill,

Even I have read in minioxidil's manual that if hair does not regrow in 4 months, then stopping the medication is best. I have using miniox for about 3-4 yrs now. I have not noticed hair growth but am able to maintain my hair. I mean my hair is kind of the same when i started this medication. does it mean that I should stop the medication..

I'm sure this community would love to see results from a quality physician in India. If we can eventually find one,

 

Hi Bill,

 

Its been sometime that i have written on the site..however, I always wanted to ask u..I have noticed that search for a gud HT doc continues...there are good docs in India. For us Indians travelling out of India becomes very difficult primarily due to monetary issues. So what cant someone make the effort of searching good docs here???
