Senior Member calvinmd Posted August 12, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2007 All of them do. The existing drugs weren't tested for frontal hair loss. That's not the same thing as saying they failed at the job. But crown loss is usually more predictable than frontal loss once it begins, so it makes sense that the crown would be the easier place to study. I've had some small regrowth at my temples from Finasteride. ------------------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 andyh, In case you were wondering what "all of them" entailed...Calvinmd is referring to Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxodil). Are you experiencing any hair loss at the moment, or are you just looking for ways to prevent it before it starts? Though you can use these medications before it starts - I'm not sure it would be something I would do. If you aren't sure if you are experiencing loss, consult with a dermatologist or hair loss physician. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
