Regular Member worriedgirl Posted March 17, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted March 17, 2008 Are there any drugs that women can take to stop the hair loss like you guys have? Can women take the Revita or Finistra (not sure if spelled properly). I am 46 years old and will NOT be having any more children so that should not be a factor here. I'm happy to see a couple of other women posting here. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 worriedgirl, Assuming your hair loss is genetic, Rogaine is your best bet. There is no finasteride for women or anything like that, though there have been rare occasions where I've seen physicians prescribe finasteride to women. It should be noted however, that finasteride can cause birth defects in children if women who are pregnant come in contact with broken tablets. Finasteride is generally not for women and should never be taken unless directed otherwise by a physician. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
