I'm not trying to scare you, but just keep in mind when you come off finasteride you will likely have some significant hair loss over the next year. Depending on the extent of your loss, you will likely experience 7 years of hair loss in a year or so. There probably isn't much you can do to stop this.. The best way to go would be to try one of the new topical antiandrogens like CB-03-01. However, the effectiveness of these is still in question.
Tell Cosmo that, CB-03-01 has been proven to be twice as effective as Finasteride, according to Cosmo's clinical results.
And RU58841`has been used by board members for years, enden has stopped his hair loss with is, it has been shown to block the same amount of DHT as Finasteride (70%) but it is better because it also blocks T.
These drugs are a much smarter and safer approach then Finasteride. Finasteride is an incredibly stupid approach to solving Androgenetic Alopecia. It is completely unecessary to internally alter your hormopne levels when you can simply block the receptors instead., and avoid all of the pointless side effects.
It is simply asinine to believe that blocking vital enzymes like 5AR2, and suppressing the most potent male androgen by 70% will not cause undesirable effects. Do you need DHT past puberty? HELL YEAH! Some anabolic steroids are sythetic DHT, look at the results men get from those, why in the hell would you want to do the opposite and take DHT out of your body?
It's really pretty simple, research scientists have made new molecules (CB-03-01) which have a higher affinity for androgn receptors than DHT or T, so you can use these molecules to stop your hair loss, instead of internally suppressing your hormone levels with Finasteride, which is a backwards and stupid approach, which was born out of convenience from Merk, and bought out of desperation from men who have few options!
