I've seen some users on here state that minoxidil only works for around 2-3 years. Is there truth behind this or is this just another hair loss myth. I've tried to look for some studies, but I haven't been able to find any. Anyone have any link or input?

When they say that they mean it reached its peak when it comes to "regrowth" and sets the follicles to stay in anagen phase longer and at the same time.

thanks for the reply. So then there's no real time span where minoxidil loses it's potency and stops working?

You're still balding without finasteride or dutasteride, so there will be a point where you'll be back to baseline and worse.
