DHT blockers besides propecia? Looking into getting hair transplant

[delboud]

I been on minoxidil since about may and started using nizoral around September.

I tried propcia twice July and August, with taking it once a day I was getting sides effects with in 2 weeks and stopped. The second time i started noticing them in about 10 days. (ED and even stinging when urinating. My Doctor told me not to take it no more after that. And yes i know its a non common side and no its not a UTI or anything)

So in my eyes propecia isnt even a option anymore

Anything i can take along with minoxidil and nizoral that block the DHT?

Im at the point where im looking to get a loan to get a hair transplant to end this all, well for now till i need another i guess...

Any help is appreciated

As far as I know there isn't anything else that is FDA approved. You could try other options though. For instance, I'm taking maxa-hair pills EOD in conjunction with finasteride that I take EOD. Also, sacred hair growth might be an option. Who knows if they work though.

What about dutasteride? What's the main difference between dutasteride and finasteride?

If he got sides from finasteride I highly doubt he would want to try dutasteride.

How much should i reduce it to?

And im 24 now and sure it wont stop but, i want to be proactive rather that reactive. That may be just the first hair transplant im guessing and maybe another in about 5 years?

Why don't replace finasteride maybe RU or CB?? These both stuff are more powerful then finasteride and is said no side effects.
