Minoxidil was originally a type of heart medication that helped with the increase of blood flow via the dilation of blood vessels. When applied topically to the scalp it increases blood flow to the hair follicles (and any hair transplant surgeon will tell you about the importance of proper blood...

Glad I could help guys! :) The last time I went for my prostate exam my doctor actually commented as to how small my prostate was and that it was because of the Propecia (I apologize if that might be "T.M.I." for some of you, but I figure any information on this topic can be helpful)

I posted my results in several threads about this topic but I'll go ahead and reply to this one as well... I used Propecia for well over a decade with positive results. My pharmacist switched me to Dr Reddys about four months back, since then my hair has been thinning rapidly, so I switched...

Coincidentally I just talked to my Rite Aid pharmacist yesterday about switching back to Propecia from the Dr Reddys generic that I have been trying out, he informed me that the price for Propecia has now gone up from $88.00 to $98.00 for a 30 day supply. Rite Aid also sells a 30 day supply of...

Minoxidil and Proscar/Finasteride work in two completely separate ways. Minoxidil doesn't block DHT, it simply increases the blood flow to your hair follicles (I believe it was originally used as a type of heart medication when it was discovered that it could also help in growing back/keeping...

I wasn't even aware of that option until today (this is my first day on here). So I'll have to ask my doctor about it at my next visit.

Yeah for the most part my hair loss has pretty much stopped/slowed down to a super slow crawl. I've grown a little bit of hair too. My big regret (which actually relates to this topic) is that I didn't start it earlier. I hesitated using it for a few years because the possible side-effects...

I heard this very topic being addressed a number of years back on the "bald truth" (a radio show about male pattern baldness) . If I remember correctly, the expert that they had on said that it can work on the front and the reason why it states that Minoxidil is not intended for frontal baldness...

Just try it and see what happens. You can always stop taking it. BTW I've been taking Propecia for about 14 years and I've had no bad side effects at all.

I've been using Propecia for close to 14 years with positive results. My pharmacist switched me to Dr Reddys generic version around four months ago and since then my hair has suddenly and noticeably been getting thinner and thinner. Realizing this connection, I made a call to my pharmacist this...

I've been using Propecia since 1999/2000 and my hair loss has more or less stopped (or at the very least slowed down to a super slow crawl). I think I might have actually grown some hair back as well in the form of fine hairs, etc. Anyway around three of four months ago my pharmacist switched me...
