Price VH, Menefee E, Sanchez M, Ruane P, Kaufman KD. Changes in hair weight and hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia after treatment with finasteride, 1 mg daily. J Am Acad Dermatol 46(4):517-23, 2002.
Confirmatory study regarding finasteride effect on male pattern baldness. Sixty-six men with Hamilton II-IIIv who were randomized to receive placebo or finasteride 1 mg completed one year. Thirty-six continued for a 48 week-extension. Hair weights increased 20% for finasteride versus 5.2% for placebo at 48 weeks and increased 22% finasteride versus -2.4% for placebo at 96 weeks. Hair counts were 12.4% and 9.1% for finasteride and 3.2% and -6.3% for placebo at 48 and 96 weeks
Nizoral's increase in hair weight at six months is 8.46%. So we can conclude that finas is a bit stronger. Using both is recommended (by me anyway)/.
