Thanks, I will google Minoxidil UK and Rogaine UK. My crown is not bald but the front of my head in the middle is where I can see my scalp through my hair now in certain light, it seems like a general thinning in that area where I have a cow lick. I will probably want to apply it over the...

Many thanks for your reply, great to hear form someone who actually uses it and has experience of the downsides. So the foam in the morning, do you get this from Boots Chemist? Do you mind if I ask where you get the 5% liquid from? I have spent hours reading up on Minoxodil today and see that...

I have had success with the use of oral Finpecia over the last 18 months, luckily I had not lost any hair or had a shed but my hair had thinned over the last 10 or 15 years. I was chatting with a friend last night who had tried Propecia but had to stop because of side effects and told me he...

How long does it take to get all Finasteride out of ones system. I have been on .625 a day.

Do you think I would lose the results so fast?

I have been on Finasteride for over 18 months and want to take a break from taking Finpecia for a while, a couple of months or so. Is this likely to cause me any problems? Before I started taking it I had never had a shed and did not shed after taking it either. I had no bald patch but did...

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed their libido changing while on Finpecia. When I first started back in July 03 soon after I noticed my libido increase, semen was more watery and thin too but the libido went back to normal by September 03. The last 6 weeks my libido is higher than...

I use Nizoral for it's anti_androgenic effects as I do not have Dandruff or a problem with my scalp. It does seem to dry my hair out a bit though. I hope Nizoral is useful for it's anti-androgenic effects otherwise I would rather not use it.

My research concludes that Beta-sito-sterol(an active constituent of SP) is much more effective for prostate trouble and high cholesterol. It is real cheap-about 6 cents a pill. Do you know how much beta-sito-streol is in each pill you take? I order my SP from a company in the US...

Re: Saw Palmetto Unlikely. In studies, Saw Palmetto has shown great results in the prostate but zero results in hair loss. Conversely, Finasteride only performs lackluster-ly in the prostate, but great results with hair loss. Thanks again.

Saw Palmetto traxdata, I started taking saw palmetto for my mild acne which got worse after being on it for a few days then died down a couple of weeks later. It never did clear up though. I also noticed an increase in libido which went back to normal 2 or 3 weeks later. No other effects were...

I would like to get some opinions from different people on this board about whether I should carry on taking Saw Palmeto (started Jan 04) along with Finpecia (.625 since July 04). Is there any need to take both of them?

Ok, I will give it a try tonight Gardener. Thanks for the suggestion Petchsky, will the nizoral still have the desired effect if only left on for 3-5 minutes though?

Thanks to anyone that topk the time to reply. dbaser, I will keep that Aussie moist in mind. I noticed that my local Boots stocked a good range of Aussie products. Temples, I am not using minoxidil (just nizoral and Pro) and do not have a dry scalp. Dry hair is my concern. The Gardener...

Traxdata, I am drinking at least 3 litres of water a day plus freshly juiced freshfruits and vegetables. Bert, thanks for the suggestion of Dove. Matgallis I will read up a bit on Emu oil, thanks.
