    Do you have to state you're on Finasteride when listing medications eg. at doctor?

    So I'm getting a small operation on a foot injury this week. They said I'd have to list what medications I'm currently taking. I'm kind of embarassed to put down finasteride because then they'll ask why I'm on it. I'd rather just not mention it at all. I can't imagine it would have any affect if...

    9 months - big 3 - good progress

    Amazing progress. I'd love to improve my hairline as much as you did. I have incredibly thick hair everywhere but the hairline has been receding for years. Looks ridiculous when the wind blows it back. Only just got on the big 3 a few months back, should have done it long ago.

    Is it ok to leave the Child-proof cap off my Regaine Foam bottle?

    I did a bit more research about this and I read on a lot of forums that the Regaine company themselves recommend storing it at room temperature, between 20 and 25 degrees. I'm sure a fridge would be way below this. I wonder could it possibly alter the chemical composition inside the bottle? I'd...

    Is it ok to leave the Child-proof cap off my Regaine Foam bottle?

    Thanks. I'll start keeping it in the fridge now so! Raging I didn't think of this before.

    Is it ok to leave the Child-proof cap off my Regaine Foam bottle?

    I find it can be an awful nuisance to take that thing off every time I want to use my Regaine foam. However, I notice that toward the end of my bottle the foam becomes really liquid-y. As soon as I apply it to my temples it just drips down my face. Is this from leaving the cap off or does...

    Any tips on minimizing/ countering the Minoxidil skin sides?

    Thanks for the replies guys, especially Benjit. I remember reading a lot of his posts before, seems like a bit of an expert on this. The good news for me is the sides go away pretty quickly when I take a few days off minoxidil. I had a date last Saturday night so stopped using it on Thursday and...

    Any tips on minimizing/ countering the Minoxidil skin sides?

    Since I started Regaine foam I've been using it morning and night, just over 4 months now. My has definitely been affected. I've noticed wrinkles becoming more prominent, bags under my eyes and lots of blackheads. My skin just doesn't look smooth anymore and my face is bloated. My hair does...

    9 months - big 3 - good progress

    This is inspirational. Do you think the Biotin is worthwhile? I'm currently on the Big 3. Only using them on my hairline. Shedded for 2 months. Then was back to baseline for month 3. Nearly finished 4 months now and I'm starting to see results. Delighted. Raging I didn't get on them earlier. Was...

    Post pics of some good Norwood covering haistyles.

    Aaron Paul's comes to mind for me. I've noticed personally that when I get a tight haircut that exposes my hairline I look much less attractive. If I let it grow a bit I can sort of use the longer hairs just around my temples to cover up the baldy parts and make my head look more square...

    this guy went from Norwood 2.5-3 to a Norwood 1 claiming he followed this regimen

    Why would somebody do that though? He doesn't get any sort of money out of it.

    Will the minoxidil grown hair be the same colour as the hair that was there previously?

    So I'm a dark haired guy, but as a kid my hair used to be quite blond. As I grew older, my hair darkened but parts of my fringe and temples remained blonde. My temples have receded a lot in the last few years but I've gotten on minoxidil and propecia for the last few months. I know that the hair...

    Experienced users. Convince me my finasteride sides are just placebo.

    Using fat burners like that can actually make things worse, especially when your already at a low body fat. They'll increase cortisol, which kick starts a chain reaction of negative hormonal effects, which will reduce your libido. I can't say I've had any atrophy. I had a slight dull pain in my...

    Would finasteride show up on a drugs test for a Pro Athlete?

    Hi there. I started using ''The Big 3'' a couple of months ago and although I haven't seen results yet, I haven't lost any more hair either. It's a massive relief knowing my hair won't get any worse than this for the foreseeable future. I just wish I had started using them earlier. Now, I have...
