What brands of dutasteride and finasteride are you using?

Title says it all. Anyone still using Finpecia from Inhouse or Allday etc., or are most using a prescription these days?

I wonder if used minoxidil prior to needling, or started both at the same time.

Are you using liquid or foam? And do you wash out the Zix before applying minoxidil?

The two Australian doctors on that Youtube hair loss...

I've been reading recent studies about Dutasteride possibly causing liver damage as well as raising cholesterol and increasing the risk for diabetes. Has anyone heard about this? Is there validity to these claims?

Read your thread. So you never use shampoo anymore? I assume you just rinse with water?

Yikes, that's scary. You're not a big drinker or anything? Also, have you considered lowering your dutasteride dose? Some have done well only using it twice a day.

Can you describe your method of rolling and what length needle you use? Do you wound, or roll lightly? Also, are you applying minoxidil once or twice a day, and have you ever used it before? I ask all this because if you are a first-time minoxidil user, it could be very likely that you are responding...
