Regular Member alopie Posted January 11 Regular Member Share Posted January 11 I had to lower the dose to my current regime, so here's how I ended up: - 0.5mg oral finasteride daily - 2.5mg oral minox daily - 3x week Ketoconazole 2%, wash with Klorane, Alpecine Caffeine the rest of the days - a few drops of 5% topical minox and a few drops of 0.1% topical finasteride to stubborn areas, 3x week - LLLT 3x week, occasional dermaroller Are those good enough for maintenance in the long run? I just want a safe, stable regime as I just had a hair transplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted January 11 Valued Contributor Share Posted January 11 That’s a pretty solid stack. It’s just my opinions but the LLLT and caffeine hair products you could pass on. Finasteride and minoxidil have a wealth of solid research going back years to prove to be effective.

Thanks, but do you think that 0.5mg daily finasteride is enough? Most people talk about 0.8mg being the optimal dose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted January 11 Valued Contributor Share Posted January 11 Yes 0.5mg is still very effective. 💯👌 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Eli_Avdikian Posted January 11 Regular Member Share Posted January 11 I agree with Gatsby. 0.5mg is still effective and the LLLT and caffeine are quite redundant. However all depends on the extent and aggressivness of your hair loss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
