finasteride is a systemic drug, Revivogen isn't.

Does finasteride lose its efficiency at maintaining hair over the years, because of a systemic change occuring gradually in the whole body system, or is it because of a gradual change of reaction from scalp follicles to finasteride?

In other words, could Revivogen (with spironolactone) could maintain its efficiency against male pattern baldness or not in the long term, as opposed to finasteride?

Does finasteride lose its efficiency at maintaining hair over the years, . . .

My understanding is that Rev is like minoxidil, in that it will only help you so much - and from the point of maximum return forward - you're into maintenance mode.

Many people on minoxidil have quit using minoxidil after awhile - because they think it stopped helping them - where in fact it was helping them maintain - and they usually regretted quitting.

Same w/ Revivogen.

Which is why after 1 year or so - if you're not realizing any visual cosmetic improvements w/ minoxidil or Rev - it's OK to cut back to minoxidil from 2x per day - to 1x per day, and to Rev every other day.

:oops: I think. :oops:
