Finasteride | Hair Loss

Will I lose more hair if I stop Finasteride ?

I consumed both Finasteride and Minoxidil for about a month. Rash appeared around my neck, chest and face. My face had been swelling since I took the medicine, at that time I didn't think it were the finas and mino that cause the affect. I seek doctor advice and stop using the medicine. My question is will I lose more hair if I stop finasteride?

Answer 1:

Propecia (same as your drug) is effective only for as long as it is taken; the hair gained or maintained is lost within 6–12 months of ceasing therapy
The Propecia side effects include an allergic reaction such as skin rash, itching, hives, unexplained swelling, wheezing or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
It seems you suffered the allergic reaction

Answer 1:

You will most likely need testosterone injections at least for a while but possibly long term. They work real good though so you won't have any problems taking them for the res of your life if you wish to. I've taken them for over 12 years. (100 mg per week) or you can take 200 mg every 2 weeks if you want.

Does minoxidil and finasteride help in re growth of hairs?

Does minoxidil and finasteride help in re growth of hairs?
I m losing my hair too much. Pls help.
Which one of them is good for male and how much does it cost?

Answer 1:

There are severeal forms of baldenss. If it is male pattern baldness (Androgenetic alopecia) then the hairloss cannot be fully cured in most

cases, but just frozen for some time with the treatments availiable on market today.

1) Hair transplant (FUE technology) creates really natural hairline, no scars, the best way to go if you have enough donor hair and money of

course.

2. Propecia (Finasteride) and Minoxidil are the only ones approved by FDA and proven to work in most men so far.


Generic Propecia (finasteride) is also ok. I use it with same results, and unfortunately same sides(a bit dry feeling in the scalp) as brand

propecia. Have tried lots of herbal crap before it and laser combs, so far the only thing that prevents my hairloss, not much regrowth, but

has stopped my hairloss completely.
I buy from this pharmacy for the last 2 years - http://www.savemoneyrx.net/generic_prope… . It is under $1 per pill as I buy the 90

pills. (89$ for 90)

Answer 2:

<a href="http://www.minoxidilsati… title="minoxidil">minoxidil</a… is the same as Regaine Extra Strength. There are no differences in composition or quality because Kirkland Minoxidil 5% is actually manufactured by Pfizer, the same company that makes Regaine.

Is genuine generic finasteride as effective for hair loss as Proscar/Propecia? Any experience?

I bought generic finasteride for much less than the brand names at CVS Pharmacy, so I am fairly certain its genuine. Do you know of successful treatment with generics or have a good experience yourself?

Answer 1:

yes, it works identically to it. I have used it an saw results within a month. Admittedly, I caught it very early so it's a little hard to tell seeing as I haven't really lost a significant amount. The main difference is in the consistency and the difference in your hair's texture, or so I've been told. I don't really have a problem with that aspect, though.
