When propecia is not an option what should i add?

[koka]

I cant use propecia because of the sides (tryed it) so i am using minoxydil and nizoral. what treatment can i add to increase the effect? Also why is it not reccomended to use nizoral daily?

 

[ShedMaster]

nizoral can be too harsh on the scalp to use everyday. Possibly being counterproductive.. suppose it depends on the person?

you can add a topical dht inhibitor such as spironolactone if you wish, or an SOD such as folligen. that would be my advice.

you can use:

* topical Zix (stimulant or possible 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, hommade zinc+b6, very CHEAP, take a look on http://www.advinfoprod.com/hair_loss_treatment_5.htm

* topical spironolactone-cream from Dr.Lee, it's a bit expensive anti-androgen, can get it from http://www.minoxidil.com

* topical SOD like tricomin or folligen, growth stimulant, don't use it when your also using Zix, zinc and copper cancel each other out, you can get it from here http://www.hairlosstalk.com

* hormone regulating herbals like flax SDG, beta-sitosterol, pygeum, nettle, pumpkin etc (altough side effects are also possible on these)
have a look at http://www.freewebs.com/immortalhair.

* inflammatory reducing herbals like fish/borage oil, green tea etc.
have a look at http://www.regrowth.com, there's a guy called Hogan38 with an interesting theory about the relation between Prostagladins, EFA's and hairloss.


main thing:
if your not using propecia or dutasteride, you have to use a multi-angle approach to be succesfull!

Really hard to say Jimmy. I just began my 5th month. I really can't say to much yet, besides it is the easiest minoxidil to apply. Are you liking the blue stuff? Is it helping with your irritation? I have used Tricomin numerous times in the past and never got much from it, except a nice cosmetic effect.

I thought copper and zinc only competed for absorbtion inside your body systematically, not when applied topically to the skin?

viper...did it cause you a major shed? ...sounds like it must not be irratating your scalp. i actually like using tricomin...first thing that doesn't stain/ irratate my scalp. :hairy:

topical processes (under the skin) could sometimes be similar than systematic processes. I've heard some people who had bad interactions with zinc and copper topically.
