Hi guys,
I've just ordered a large supply of finasteride (Propecia) that I intend to use of course on a daily basis.
Whilst consulting the GP about it, he informed me that this will *not* help recover any hairs with regards to frontal hairloss, and recommended that using minoxidil may help.
Now, that's fine, I'm wondering, is it possible to use minoxidil for 6 months to a year, and then stop, and the finasteride will help retain those hairs? If I'd have to carry on with the minoxidil, I don't think I'll bother, as I don't want to become a 'slave' to the product.
Also worth noting I'd be using it fairly casually; applying only once a day (unless I could apply at 5pm and 11pm?) and stopping whenever I go go on holiday or a short break.
Any advice on this would be great, thanks guys.
