Instead of oral Or same same really ? @Gatsby After trying oral finasteride many times (micro dosing) and still getting side effects I switched to 0.25ml topical minoxidil. After two months I began to develop a loss of libido so a month later I quit. It is possible that on a lower topical dose I might not have received the side effects. Also others have switched to topical Finasteride and were totally fine. 1 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugenix have told biotin to use also No. It was finasteride that I got sexual side effects from. Oral minoxidil at 5mg is about as high a dose as you want to go. Sexual side effects are not associated with minoxidil. 👍 Edited May 19 by Gatsby GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
