Will RU make Minoxidil work better than finasteride/Du?

They are completely independent treatments that do very different things when it comes to hair loss. RU blocks DHT at the hair follicles while minoxidil promotes regrowth through increased blood flow. Yea using minoxidil in conjunction with a DHT inhibitor like RU is certainly a great way to combat baldness.
How long have you been on finasteride? Minoxdil?
If it hasn't been at least 6 months then don't even consider adding RU because it's experimental and should only be used when finasteride or even dutasteride are not effective on their own in combating DHT.

been on finasteride for a year and a half. i feel as though i am still losing ground on the frontal and temple regions. would like to try something diff.

used minoxidil for several years with wonderful regrowth, but when i got into my late twenties, and i believe the DHT in my scalp started to increase, the DHT overcame the minoxidil so i started finasteride. been on the finasteride and minoxidil combo for over a year and half, but have not been able to get the regrowth with the minoxidil, so was thinking RU might control the DHT, so the minoxidil can work again
