Minoxidil Alternatives


Recommended Posts

  • Regular Member

I've applied Rogaine and it had terrible side effects for me. My skin is very sensitive and it greatly exacerbated my eczema. Do you think that oral minoxidil is worth trying? I don't want to go on and off it forever. Also, how long is it effective for? I've hard it's not as effective after 8 to 10 years.

Are there any minoxidil alternatives other than propecia that anyone would recommend? I'm considering a low level laser cap.

Oral minoxidil is the best alternative to topical.

 What happens if I take it for 50 years? is that possible?

Would you recommend the laser helmets as well?

What are the best products to maintain your hair other than minoxidil and finasteride?

Thanks Melvin!
