Dutasteride, 15% Minoxidil & Ru. Want To Try A New Regime. Need Advice.

[Marky9829]

Hello I am currently taking 0.5 dutasteride a day and a hair loss solution from a hair loss Doctor, my hair is still getting worse I've been on this regime since November 2015 and I've seen no improvement it's just got worse.

I'm thinking of starting this regime

0.5 dutasteride a day
Pre made RU from Kane shop
15% minoxidil and 5% azelic acid solution from minoxidilmax.com

They also do a 15% minoxidil and finaseride solution has anyone used this?

What are people's thoughts on this? Thanks

I'm extremely unsure about minoxidil that's over 5%..

 

[Marky9829]

I've been reading up and it looks like 15% min can be disastrous.

I'm going to try
Dutasteride
Lipogain 5%
RU

Anyone else on this regime?

Wait, what do you mean 15% can be disastrous?

People who claim they have massive sheds after starting 15% min and don't recover from it

Me for instance
Minoxidil 15% from Xandrox gave me a shed I will never forget.
Xandrox themselves write (but I read it only later!) you should NOT use it as a replacement for 5%, but only once every five weeks.

I would lUV to try this product but its not offered in my communist country, the US!

 

[Marky9829]

I've just ordered some pre made RU from Kane shop, would like to mix my own but it seems a lot of messing about and I don't know how to do it.

I've also ordered some lipogain as I've heard good things

My new regime will be
0.5 dutasteride
Liopgaine twice a day
RU, how long after applying minoxidil can I use the RU?

Also how much RU should I use?

 

[Marky9829]

Also I've ordered some regenepure shampoo, anyone had success with it?

I would NOT use anything higher than 5% minoxidil. People use this based on the bro-theory that higher concentration is always better. I used that sh*t and it just shredded my scalp. Perhaps 5% is the sweet spot. After all, this is the percentage that has worked for many many people and has been through clinical trials.

Also, I would not jump into dutasteride and RU at the same time. PLEASE listen to my advice, as i have been through all this. I actually had the same regimen as you. It f*cked my scalp. More is not always better. Slow down and try one thing at a time.

Buck, I know you've mentioned that you dont have the best reactions to AAs like finasteride....however; maybe just maybe...minoxidil in a higher dose could be beneficial. There are plenty of people who state that 15% have worked for them.
The ONLY reason im unsure of minoxidil higher than 5%, is because they're all made from a brand I dont trust or know.
If Rogaine or Kirkland made a 15% minoxidil, I'd be ALL over that sh*t. Not worried about shedding.

I HATE the idea of using snake oil..It's a waste of time & money

That's why I'm giving medical wellness center a shot. They compound 15% minoxidil legitimately...If I shed, I'll see it through.

that's what I have been using, for like six months. Medical wellness center 15% minoxidil. idk man, it may work for you, but I can tell that my scalp just responds horribly to any higher concentration. I also tried minoxidil labs sensitive formula, PG free and had the same response. I have put a lot of crap on my scalp in the last three years, and by far, the higher concentration minoxidil has irritated it the worst.

Ditto. Worse hair decision in my life was 15% minoxidil. Did it six months ago, still paying the consequences.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply.

The reason I want to start RU Is because I've been on dutasteride for 8 months and I've not seen any improvement, my hairline has got slightly worse.

My old regime was finasteride, Kirkland foam and nizoral.

I went to see a hair Doctor and he gave me some of his lotion, and that's when I started dutasteride.

I want to try a new regime as this one doesn't seem to work.

What regime are you currently on?

What happened to your scalp? Did it shred as well?

 

[tiny7]

If your scalp itches with no results save your money. You have scarring alopecia and will be bald with nothing to stop it. Gl

Simply put, I lost a lot lot lot lot of transplanted hair. Now regaining it little by little.

Scarring alopecia??! Caused by minoxidil? no way dude! You'd have to REALLY have a bad reaction to minoxidil
