    Dr. Reddy's finasteride vs Propecia vs Proscar vs Finpecia

    I am fairly new to attempting propecia for hairloss. I was given Dr. Reddy Propecia from my local pharmacy (Bartells) without me even realizing it. Looked up on the internet what the brand Propecia was meant to look like and it wasn't even close. The Dr. Reddy pill is smaller, round pink with...

    I am using generic finasteride + nizoral for 2 months and have noticed my temples are thinner. I'm reducing my nizoral frequency to once a week instead of 3 times a week. Will see how that pans out ...

    Dr. Reddy's Generic Finasteride Led to Shedding

    A data point: I've only been on finasteride for 2 months, but my pharmacy gave me Dr.Reddy's finasteride instead of the brand name. I was shedding a lot by my normal standards when bathing, combing hair before I started on finasteride. Just needed to touch my hair sometimes to see a strand or 2 fall. My Doctor did say I...

    Measuring effects of hair loss treatment

    I am on my third week of using finasteride 1mg + Nizoral (1% most days and 2% once in a week). My Doctor said to keep taking finasteride for 12 months before making any decisions on it working or not working. I am happy to do exactly as told but I need a nice way to measure progress for my own curiosity. When I...

Anyway, that will be the first and last time I go to Bartell's for prescription of any kind. I will go today and ask them if...

    Nizoral 1% Usage and which Conditioner do you use

    Initially I was using Nizoral as recommended every 2-3 days but I had such bad scalp build up & dandruff that it was too embarassing to go to work. Increasing my usage to daily helped clear the problem. Now really I just want to maintain my head. I will try switching back to using nizoral every...

    Nizoral 1% Usage and which Conditioner do you use

    I also started using the 1% and 2% (have both), however they really really dry my hair out. I use them almost every day, but then after bathing my hair became really dry. If I switch to shampooing every other day, my head still gets itchy if I do that or really greasy and easily get scalp build...
