I have diffuse thinning, noticeably in the front. While Rogaine isn't advertised for that area (I don't have a vertex problem.), I bought some Rogaine Foam. However, I haven't been able to bring myself to use it more than once. That one time, I experience rapid heartbeat, but I don't know...

Okay, I made two calls to the 800-number on the Nizoral 1% bottle and talked with two specialists about the instruction on the bottle of not using the product for more than eight weeks without consulting a doctor. Putting together what they told me, the reason that warning is there is because...

I realize the instructions are talking about the use of Nizoral for dandruff (which is what it's marketed for), but I was concerned that the 8-week limit might have to do with some negative effect that anyone using the shampoo for an extended time, for whatever reason, might be subject to. I'm...

Then why do you think the Nizoral bottle suggests a limit of 8 weeks?

Why does the Nizoral bottle suggest a limit of 8 weeks?

Hair Tomorrow, have you had any side effects from using caffeine shampoo, such as an irritated scalp? I was thinking of using Alpecin C1 on the off days from using Nizoral, but I believe you're not supposed to use Nizoral on an irritated scalp. Also, how often do you use caffeine shampoo...

As I've pondered elsewhere on this site, I'm wondering whether Nizoral and caffeine could be counterproductive.

Thanks for the help! I'm having trouble finding thorough information on Nizoral's use in treating in male pattern baldness. Can you suggest a site or a thread in this forum that might go into the mechanics of it?

Most people here seem to use both Rogaine and Propecia, but has anyone limited their regimen to only Rogaine Foam and had good results? I'm trying to gauge how effective the foam is on its own. I'm going to avoid Propecia and Avodart because I used them in the past and had bad side effects. And...

I recently picked up both a bottle of Nizoral and a bottle of Alpecin C1 caffeine shampoo. After reading some threads on here, though, I'm thinking that they both shouldn't be part of a regimen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Nizoral a vasodilator and isn't caffeine a vasoconstrictor...

Do you just think its is, or do you know from first-hand experience. :)

Timi, I wish you the best. What you described about shedding is what has scared me off using Rogaine. Has the hair eventually come back for other people who had the same problem?

It's hard to say what, if any, effect there was on my hair. I took Avodart when I first noticed some thinning on the front of my hairline; it wasn't noticeable to anyone else, so much. After I stopped taking it, my hair loss was very, very slow, seemingly at a halt, for about five years. It's...

I know there's a study supporting the use of caffeine to regrow hair, but it screams snake oil to me. Does anyone here feel they've had good results with Alpecin C1 shampoo? Also, has anyone had any bad experiences with it?

Has anyone here actually had any success with caffeine shampoo?
