Not responding to finasteride: Fluridil or minoxidil

[jrg]

I have been using finasteride and nizoral faithfully for the past 11 month. But still losing as much as 1 year ago. Logic says minoxidil should be the next in line but fluridil seems also a decent product.

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

Keep on the finasteride and nizoral, if your ready to stick to minoxidil for a while then go for it, if not you may add fluridil or spironolactone..
But definately continue with finasteride and nizoral

That would be my advice as well: keep going. I am using finasteride for over a year and still losing ground.. But i realise i'd probably be worse off now without the finasteride. But i consider the same: at the 2 year mark i'll probably add a topical if my situation keeps getting worse.

Personally I would try dutasteride before using minoxidil. You havent got anything to lose if your not maintaining on finasteride.

That extra bit of DHT inhibition may be just what you need.
