Non-Responding or Faster Balding?

[Vigaku]

I've been reading from some who aren't improving with finasteride/dutasteride that they aren't responding to the medication. I personally don't believe that someone doesn't respond to something. It goes into your stomache and it's broken down, goes into your bloodstream etc.

Maybe what the medication can offer does not beat the speed at which someone is balding.

That's just my take on it.

maybe there problem is both in th dht and the scalp so propecia only won't work . I think people who succeded with propecia had no problem in the scalp or combined minoxidil or nizoral.

That's kinda my take also. Anyone else?

I think some people just aren't responders. I think Propecia probably works best when used with Nizoral and minoxidil. I'm not a scientist, but I think Nizoral helps the finasteride work. I don't know, it just seems that I started noticing a change when I started using Nizoral.

Well...on another forum someone's been claiming anti-androgens such as finasteride and dutasteride cause more hair loss in the long run...because supposedly, dht is needed to grow hair in general, meaning not just body and facial hair, but scalp hair as well.

I laugh at his theory, because women obviously have traces of dht at best yet they have the best heads of hair on the planet
