How many people have maintained or seen regrowth from just anti-androgen? without minoxidil

So many swear my Minoxidil but in terms of side effects for me with minoxidil they are far worse than finasteride.

Lots of people have had success with only finasteride and no side effects. Topical Minoxidil side effects are mild at worst and go away with discontinuation of the drug, unlike finasteride where in extreme cases some side effects may remain for an unspecified time after stopping, but of course its very rare and i question the authenticity of some of those people.

Stats are here:

A small 3% of Propecia users showed a moderate decrease in hair compared to 31% of placebo users, and 7% of patients showed a slight decrease in hair compared to 25% of placebo users. Forty-two percent of Propecia users showed no change in their hair compared to 19% of placebo users, 22% showed a slight increase in hair compared to 6% of placebo users, 21% had a moderate increase in hair compared to no placebo users, and interestingly enough, 5% showed a great increase in hair (the same as in previous years).

So you have a 26% chance of some improvement just on finasteride alone.

The pictures we all mentally jerk off to where guys have massive regrowth on these drugs are guys in that top 5%. You have a 95% chance that won't be you, so don't get over excited.

Use minoxidil with it to increase results.
