Help on DHT Inhibitors

[KEVING]

I have been reading loads of posts and i really would like to know a good/great topical DHT inhibitor that i can use instead of finasteride?

Any help very much appreciated.

Proxiphen/spironolactone

Thankyou for your reply. Is it one or the other or both? Do you buy yours from Dr Proctor?

Thanks again

Use either, but not both since proxiphen has spironolactone in.

I don't use either drug, but you can safely get it from Dr Proctor, or from lef.com

Actually, you can only order proxiphen(the one with spironolactone) directly from dr.proctor, I would guess because it requires a prescription.

And $100 for a one-month supply prices Proxiphen out of most people's budgets.

I see, didn't know that Nuli... $100 is expensive, but if I used it I'd go EOD to save costs.

Which is surely up there with sliced bread in the pantheon of good ideas.

This talk of Proxiphen reminds me that I still haven't gotten around to ordering some of his (Dr. Proctor's) Prox-N. Must do that. Wonder if the Customs boys (& girls) will demand their pound of flesh for graciously allowing me to import the aforementioned hair tonic?

Thanks guys.

Is Proxiphen basically finasteride with minoxidil and Proxiphen-N just finasteride.

I noticed you talk about spironolactone too? Just want to make sure i can use Proxiphen-N as a direct replacement.

Thanks again

I have now been off finasteride for about 2 months and i have seen frontal loss at the temples. I have shaved my head so im not sure if the crown is thinning anymore since coming off.

I use nizoral 5% three times a week. Use Dr lees spironolactone 5% cram during teh day with 5% minoxidil and flurdil and minoxidil 5% at night.

I know its early days to be judging treatments but can i add anyhting else to block DHT? Also i notice that my treatments dont seem to absorb into the scalp.

Should i add retin-a?

Thanks in advance,
