I posted this in the side effects forum by accident... no idea how that happened.
So I recently started noticing that my uncle looked a little different. I coudn't quit put my finger on it, but for a 60 year old man he seemed to look younger and leaner. At first i credited it with his retirement and having free time to do the things he loves but I just saw him at a family BBQ and thats when it hit me. His hair has improved!
My uncle always had a pretty large bald spot but when I noticed it now it seemed to have filled up. Furthermore in the front he used to have longer hairs that gave the illusion of a hairline but now his hair was cut short and his hair in the front was a lot more dense.
So on a whim I asked him if he was taking prostate medication. He told me that he was, so I asked him if it was Proscar and he told me that he was taking Avodart. Then he got suspicious and asked me why a 26 year old knows about prostate medication, so i dropped the subject.
Later I met my grandmother (my uncles mom) and asked her if she noticed anything different about Bernie. She said "Yes, his bald spot is completely filling up".
So Avodart has definitely regrown hair on my uncles head, and furthermore, my uncle has been balding for more than 20 years! The fact that an anti-androgen can work on a 60 year old is pretty amazing.
Now im hoping that i have similar results on finasteride...
