Don't listen to this ***.
Now on a serious note. If you can afford it, switch to Rogaine foam, you'll won't have anymore side effects. Also, I'd use Nizoral more then twice a week. Oh, & your insurance company will be more likely to cover finasteride if you had your MD prescribe it for your "BPH".
No, it’s a 100% better in that regard. I’ve even quit using Nizoral because I don’t get the inflamed itching flakes I would normally get with regular Minoxidil.
I’ve been on minoxidil for about 12 years now. The only side effect I’ve ever had was scalp itch & dandruff, which is easily taken care of with the right shampoo.
