Regular Member munchkinman Posted July 12, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hi, I have been on generic Finasteride for about 9 months now, and it appears to have had no effect, with my hair loss progressing, and maybe even early signs of crown loss. I am considering going on dutaseride aswell now, maybe 0.5mg a week, or maybe every other day or something, although I am a bit worried about sides from it. Also I use dermmatch, and as a result it is not practical to apply topical minoxidil twice a day as I live in a student house and can not wander round without dermmatch on whilst minoxidil dries. Does anybody have any info on oral minoxidil and whether it is worth considering taking? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted July 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 12, 2011 Oral minox s a very potent drug! I would doubt any doctor would prescribe it to you unless you were having blood pressure problems..dutasteride may help you more! Newhairplease!!

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted July 13, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted July 13, 2011 munchkinman, I have no experience with oral minoxidil but I suggest you read Dr. Pathomvanich's detailed reply in the following thread: Any experience with oral minoxidi David - Former Forum Co-Moderator and Editorial Assistant I am not a medical professional.
