Rogaine?

blasteryui · Mar 12, 2014

Hey guys so I'm on finasteride, been on it for 3 months now. Should I be taking rogaine also or some other topical? Is there even a point or will finasteride work its course. If I do take rogaine do I have to keep taking it forever, or can I take it for a year or so until the finasteride starts to show results?

Thanks guys!

You can use topical to enhance your treatment but I don't know about rogaine. it used to be the most well known minoxidil treatment out there but now there are so many other types of applications that still have 5% minoxidil like rogaine. That foamy stuff is super messy and annoying. I used to hate that it went all over my hair and no where I needed it to be like my scalp. If you decide to use minoxidil do some research the minoxidil spray, its a much better application. Good luck

so you're recommending minoxidil spray?

I would definitely recommend it. Its better than the foam and dropper. A swivel sprayer? Genius. That just changed the minoxidil game. Now we no longer have to settle
