I am also going to consider bicalutamide. I was on spironolactone for the last 11 months. All those time, I was giving myself the false hope that my thinning vertex would eventually start regrowing. My vertex will soon hit the point of no return. I wasted my 11 months. I believe bicalutamide wouldn't work for me either. My genetics is getting intense in its manifestation.
Considering the number of people on this thread who recently jumped on the bica bandwagon we should start to get some actual data in the near future to its overall effectiveness. Kinda like we have our own case study going on... ok maybe not quite. But aside from the potential for personal bias, placebo effects, and a cocktail of other random meds screwing with the results, it should still be interesting to see how the bica treatments pan out.
Moreover many people -like about 70% of men and during their prime years - suffer from hair loss which is not the case with any specific cancer in terms of quantity as well as age.
Please try it without estrogen for first 3 months at least. Maave does that and he has not seen furtherance of hair loss.
I will never take estradiol. Otherwise, my family will kick me out.
until the patent expires it costs like $6,000 a month.. unless you order powder from China
Any idea on when the patent is expiring? AFAIK, Indian medical boards in most cases reject such patents and allow generics.
Yeah.. 100mg should be a good starting point.
Does that mean it won't give regrowth?
a few years
considering the fact that spironolactone at a dose of 400 mg didn't work for me, I will take 150 mg of bica.
