What are you on about? Advising someone not currently on any treatments to not only jump on the big 3 right out of the gates, but to also include an experimental and possibly dangerous drug like ru? Way overkill. finasteride should have been the recommendation.
Anyway - we're supposed to be talking brotzu.
Yes, we are supposed to be talking Brotzu, WHICH IS NOT OUT YET and MAY PROVE TO BE JUST ANOTHER SNAKE OIL.
And then what, you are suggesting to the lad to do what, wait until 2018 ???
He needs to go BIG 3 asap or in 2 year's time he will have been kicking himself over for not starting before.
As for RU - It is entirely up to him whether to take it or not (he ain't a 3 year old kid) and has his own decisions to take, plenty of guys use it and report no/lower sides than finasteride.
Does not Brutzu's lotion lower DHT, which can go systemic and give same sides as finasteride ??
