12 Months Up

briancl · Aug 30, 2006

I'm finishing up my 1 year on proscar 1.25mg/day. Just wondering what products I could possibly add to the regimen to help the frontal area. It seems to still be a lost cause up front. I'm hoping for alternatives to minoxidil because of the irritation it has caused. Any input would be helpful.

Thanks.

DUTASTERIDE

Could dutasteride actually grow back the front? While on finasteride I saw my frontal area slowly miniaturize and it was so disappointing especially since starting on the meds so early.

you have a much better chance of regrowth on dutasteride than finasteride. i would try switching to dutasteride if you want to regrow. and you'll certainly slow your hair loss down more with dutasteride than finasteride.

maybe try adding spironolactone 5% cream if you want from minoxidil.com

you could try both dutasteride+spironolactone at once if you wanted and those two should pretty much halt the hair loss entirely i'd imagine.
