TL;DR the manufacturer should not make a difference. I fill my prescriptions at Costco and the manufacturer changes with each refill depending on which manufacturer is, at the time, selling the drugs at the most cost-effective price. It should not make a difference so long as the active...

There are new hairs growing in in the last few months -- I can see them -- but I do not notice any significant change and I have been on medication for 2 months. That side of my head still is such that the hair parts and does not look like the other side. How long does it generally take to see...

My other question is, if it is genuine hair loss why has it barely changed over the years? Will it get worse if I am on medication?

The question is, is that something that can be reversed with the medication or will it require a hair transplant? will it likely progress or will medication halt it?

But this is not even in the temple. It is a straight line of hair parting beginning in the middle. It is very bizarre. I have never seen anything similar.

So why is it only that way on one side, and why has it been the same since 2012 and not getting progressively worse? I DO think I have hair loss. But I don't know that I am convinced that particular area is related to it.

I was diagnosed with early male pattern baldness and prescribed medication -- the dermatologist looked at me for 3 seconds before diagnosing it and did not really check for miniaturization but just noticed one area of thinner hair -- , but when I look at old photos, I notice nothing has really changed over the...

My hair has looked similar for the last 5 years and the progression of the hair loss was very slow. Only photos from early college years look different than today. 90% of people don't even notice it unless I point it out. I think if I can maintain what I have, which I most likely will then I...

I have been using Nizoral once every other day for 2 months, and finasteride for one and a half weeks. I used to easily shed 20 hairs from the top of my head each time I showered, that has gone down already to about 10. And most of those now are miniaturized hairs of various lengths. I still...

I have begun using finasteride one week ago. I have heard that minoxidil works best in combination with finasteride. Does this mean I should wait a bit longer to begin applying minoxidil to my hairline, which is where I have experienced the minor thinning which prompted me to begin treatment...

Get a generic from a legitimate pharmacy, i.e. do not order online. You never know if the online sites you use are giving you a legitimate product. Try pharmacies at wholesale clubs, i.e. anything you have that is comparable to Costco.

I think more people probably use generics rather than the original anyway.

I definitely think people have more control over their bodies than they think. If you think a medication is going to cause side effects, you're probably more likely to experience them. In my case, I go into this with no expectations. I think if you had stuck with the generics you would have...

I experience the latter two.

I definitely do feel the impact of taking the pills because for about half an hour after taking one, I do feel slightly light-headed and woozy. Is this because it affects hormone levels? I didn't know that decreased DHT could be physically felt.
