After a year of cutting 5mg tablets in 5ths (a little tricky but doable since the Teva version is an elongated oval), my pharmacy has changed manufacturers. The latest batch is a round blue pill manufactured by Northstar (it also says something about 'Biconvex' on the receipt.) Anyone familiar...

Hi all, I've been using Rogaine foam for the last few months and the cans have typically lasted around 2 months each before the foam pretty much stops 'foaming'. These cans do still have a good amount of milky liquid left but it just won't thicken up. Is this still strong and worth using or...

Yep, I've experienced the very same thing, although probably not in the hundreds. Interestingly enough, I remember first really noticing it after increasing my use of nizoral.

An update: Well, I finally had my long-awaited appointment. After reading about a few doctors’ negative reactions to prescribing Proscar, I had pretty much resigned myself to going with Propecia and avoiding any tongue-lashing or speeches on ethics… Of course, once we discussed the...

I’m in Boston, MA and yes, my intent was to get a checkup and then bring up the hair loss issue. I just changed my insurance and it seems like most of the new doctors only perform checkups during particular months, hence the September date. Oddly enough, I called today to see about moving...

Well, Nizoral 1% has been officially added to my regimen. As minor as it is, it feels good to take at least one step in the right direction. I've looked around United Pharmacy a couple of days ago, but didn't place an order. The only thing stopping me is the idea that my doctor might want to...

Thanks for the quick responses. I might just wait it out as suggested. I think I've been in a little denial stage these last few months as I can still style my hair and cover where I'm thinning. Finally deciding to take action only to find out I can't see my doctor until September has taken...

As mentioned in a previous post, I've scheduled an appointment with my primary care doctor and plan on asking about a prescription to Propecia. My appointment isn't until September however, which means I can either think about how much additional hair loss I'll have in the next few months or try...

I've definitely found this site extremely helpful. My main purpose for trying to handle this through my doctor is insurance reasons. I also thought that there may be some baseline tests he may do in order to see if I'm reacting badly to whatever medication I end up taking. That said, I'll pursue...

I'm a 28 year old male that has always had fairly thick hair. Looking back however, it's probably safe to say that my hair has been thinning for at least the last 8 months or so -- thinning in the crown, some in front and what seems to be a part down the front center that I don't remember being...
