Blue pills doesn’t get you libido. They help to get hard if you have an organic problem, but they don’t work for libido.
Sorry for you, 30 year dickless, taking blue pills.

There’s no new research to be done. The cure to androgenetic alopecia is to destroy androgens. I’m not defending finasteride, it’s not a satisfying solution to the problem. But it is a drug that takes a step to begin to destroy androgens which is why it “works”.

Not necessarily. The cure is to prevent those androgens from harming hair. Reducing total production of androgens in the body is only one way. Blocking off the receptors is another. Imagine bicalutamides mechanism of action, but stronger, and localized to the scalp. That's what we need. If not something that binds to the androgen receptor, then something that outright destroys it.

Reducing total production of androgens (finas, dutas) is not one way. Is killing yourself.

ive been on finasteride and minoxidil since i was 28 years and im now 57

What, I thought Finasteride wasn't marketed for hairloss until Propecia came out in 1997? So you've just been on proscar since 1995? Damn you're one of the first hairloss alchemists out there, that must have been an exciting time period for hairloss sufferers. I wasn't even born when propecia came out and they still haven't found anything better since then, I could only hope to go through a similar revolution in medicine as your generation did

Sorry to break this to you but no, you don't need androgens to live. They are required for reproduction but that's it. Estrogen is beauty.

Plus all of us eunuchs still have like the tiniest amount of test like sooo just a little

it was given on a private prescription and i still buy it from Hugh Rushton based in Harley St London.It wasnt widely known to treat hair loss back then, but has been great for me he is a world renowned hair loss specialist so he would know if there was anything better out there but clearly not as he still sells it and it works

Here's the thing though. Many Men will naturally experience sexual dysfunction and the likes at some point in their life, and the odds of such occurrences happening only increase as you get older. When a guy says he's only just now having ED after taking finasteride for more than a few years it seems more than likely they were inevitably going to have that issue come up regardless of the finasteride use. That's why they have placebo groups in trials to see how the occurrences of ED compare with test subjects. Honestly though, ED is still a very real side effect of finasteride and whether it's 2% or 5% or whatever, that's simply too high for most men to be comfortable with using for their entire life. Most people don't like the idea of playing Russian roulette with their sex life at all

Ive been on minoxidil and finasteride since i was 23 im 57 this year and have a great head of hair supplied by Hugh Rushton of Harley St London,if there was any alternative better treatment he would know as he is at the top of his game.yes my sex drive as dipped but im banging on 60.
Its a no brainier for me as im here for a good time not a long time and who wants to miserable for a long time.
Nobody on here is happy about being bold so use the best treatment available to slow it /stop it until something better comes along.We have an alopecia drug coming out over here so a cure cant be to far off.

Not sure why you're buying some sort of 'special' solution (at a premium, no doubt) when you admit that you're just taking finast + minoxidil. I doubt there's anything else in the solution nor anything Mr Rushton knows above and beyond anyone on this forum. It's just finasteride+min. The stuff about cetrizine is highly speculative and I doubt there any studies to show it's efficacy in fighting hairloss.

 

[Xander94]

Cant believe Im still putting rogaine?

Using minoxidil long term will destroy your heart. Better stop

 

[Modill]

Minoxidil can cause pericardial effusion, a serious side effect involving the accumulation of fluid in the pericardium, the membrane surrounding the heart. This effusion can progress to cardiac tamponade, a potentially life-threatening condition where the accumulated fluid exerts pressure on the heart, impeding its proper function.

 

[sunlight2]

That's scaremongering nonsense

 

[justinbieberscombover]

That's scaremongering nonsense

Lol all those drugs have some level of toxicity. Stop deluding yourself that adverse effects are nonexistent - THAT is nonsense.

Everything causes something . Their is trillions of people is this world . Even milk will cause problems for some . My brother was allergic to anything grape flavored for years . I think you know where I'm going with this .

 

[Modill]

Agree, but using minoxidil for 20 years can be dangerous
