Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted November 19, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2010 Lara, There are definitely some different types of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors you can try (in shampoo form, creams, etc). Additionally, you could look into a different type of finasteride pill (like a generic or even Avodart, which blocks both types of DHT enzymes), but I don't know if this would alleviate any of the issues with side effects. Have you considering using Rogaine/minoxidil? Speedway, While a hair transplant may be a viable option, you probably should not rush into it if your current hair loss is still a progressive issue. If you don't have the balding stabilized, you'll continue losing hair and this will greatly affect the cosmetic benefits of the original hair transplant procedure. Again, I highly recommend investigating Rogaine/minoxidil (if Propecia/finasteride is DEFINITELY not an option).

Senior Member waveskier Posted November 20, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2010 What about Durasteride, Avodart? I really detest putting Rogaine in my hair. It just messing it up and looks terrible. Only option is only do it at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
