Topical Finasteride

Recommended Posts

Hey guys I am new here.

I am a 19 year old guy.I noticed my hiar thinning a year back.I tried to ignore it like everyone else.Recently more and more are telling me that i m going bald.

 

So i decided to do something about this.I consulted a dermatologist .She prescribed to me a solution named Morr-F .It is 5% minoxidil and 0.1% finasteride.

 

I just wanted to ask will topical finasteride work? And now that i know about its side effects,should i discontinue it and use just minoxidil?

If you really want to keep what you have , I suggest picking up a big bottle of nizoral shampoo , take 1.25mg of finasteride Monday - Wednesday - Friday, and buy a generic version of minox 5% and use this Morning and night . To be honest apply minox twice a day is simple, i use it before i brush my teeth ... takes about a minute each time . They call this "the big 3" . Its the most proven way to battle MPB . Keep checking updates on the forums and learn about the future of hair loss ect. . Take it easy!

I buy finasteride from this site (promotional link removed) they've never required a prescription so its convenient to get compared to going to your doctor.

Now that I have read about the side-effects of finasteride I am reluctant to use it.

Is topical finasteride as harmful as the tabs?

 

I tried Finasteride 1mg per day.. stopped after a month as soon as my 30 tablets ended.

Though it does give results but i guess my sexual life is more important than my hairs at age 20 !!!

I started using Nizoral 2% last week & using rogaine foam since a month.

Expecting results atleast from the big 2 !!!

great link dr tom

 

I buy without a prescription the generic 1mg tablets here (Link removed by moderator) and crush it up into my shampoo and it's worked great.

Have a look at this paper:

 

Comparing the therapeutic effects of finasteride gel and tablet in treatment of the androgenetic alopecia Hajheydari Z, Akbari J, Saeedi M, Shokoohi L - Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol

 

 

Good study that coincides with my positive experience using the tablets in my shampoo. Will be nice the day they come up with a commercial option but this is where I order it until they do
