Minoxidil Does Not Seem To Work Anymore.

[Ali1992]

I started using minoxidil 8 months ago, i went through initial minoxidil shed for first few weeks, after that my hair fall stopped. For past 6 to 7 months i had some decent results. Now all of a sudden my hair is falling again. What could be the reason ?

You aren't on finasteride. What you expect?

Minoxidil is used to promote and accelerate hair growth, it doesn't stop hair from falling out. That's finastrides job.

My doctor here won't prescribe me finasteride, what are my other options regarding minoxidil ?

Minoxidil leads to hair growth in approximately 15% of users, which is a considerably low amount. The other 85% notice a delay in hair loss or a continuation of hair loss. I wouldn't recommend minoxidil to anyone, if I'm being entirely honest...
