hi guys Just got to the airport and realized I forgot my finasteride..... I'll be in Austin and driving through Texas for 10 days. It's not the end of the world...but I'd like to get at least a few doses in his time...have had great response and would hate to lose ground. Is anyone in Austin...

when you say that 1mg of finasteride catches up to dutasteride, is this with reference to .5mg dt or the full2.5 dose. Do yo mind if I ask which studies show these figures? Cheers

5 mg is obviously more, but the question is about the rate of dosing really. is twice a week at 2.5 going to be as or more effective than more frequent dosing with less.

What do you guys reckon. I'm thinking of adding dutasteride to my regimen. should I be going for one pill every other day? I can't afford to go whole hog withthe 2.5 mg dosing. but I thought maybe I could do it twice a week. would that be sufficient?

how many pills a week were you taking, with what schedule?

yeah, part of me is thinking that I AM in the lucky group if those figures are true. But, part of me wonders if maybe there is still some thinning happening slowly that I'm not aware of yet, but may begin to notice in say a year. These are just my paranoid musings. Also, as much as I think...

I was reading a study yesterday that stated that finasteride only halted progress in something like 50% of patients. a hair transplant surgeon told me that it only worked in 20% of patients. What should I make of this? I've got frontal recession, which i always hoped that finasteride would keep at bay (I've...

I'm low on cash right now, but I can offer you $60.

I'm in sydney and am looking to buy some cheap 5% minoxidil online Any recommendations?

I am thinking about giving topical estriol a try on my temples. I haven't lost too much yet but I would rather be gaining hair than losing it. From what I've read, topical estriol is relatively weak and is almost completely locally metabolised. I would be applying the smallest amount to the...

Can you guys recommend a place to pick up cheap non-greasy minoxidil (5%)? Cheers.

I'm on minoxidil and spironolactone in an attempt to save / nurture my hairline. I know that spironolactone not only innactivates (apparently) the DHT binding sites but it may also convert DHT into oestrogen (highly hair promoting). Anyway, there is a topical oestrogen cream called Ovestin. Its designed as a HRT...

I'm trying to make my own spironolactone topical and I need to find a good vehicle base for it. Dermovan seems to be recommended but I have not seen it here in Australia. Anyine know what I should look for? Cheers.

I am a very early receeder and have been on finasteride for 8 months now and min for 6. Things look pretty good, I don;t think I see any thinning at the hairline and even though the right temple is about .5 - 1 cm further back than I would like, the left is great and one can';t be greedy.. ...Anyway...

cool, i didn't think it did. just wanted to make sure we were getting the most out of our meds. I know that some meds have specific instructions for optimal use
