I am a Male, Age 31 Year
Current Hairline Status: Somewhere between NW3 and 4A
Ofcourse the reason is Genes. My grandfather was bald, and my dad became bald at a very early age.
I dont have much body hair like my other male friends have. also have less dense facial hair.
I was always afraid of side effects of finasteride, but now as my hairline keep on declining I've decided to take the risk.
Reading this forum helped me a lot and boosted my confidence to try finasteride. On the other hand i am also desperate to save my hair (whatever is left of them).
Currently I use 1ml Rogain 5% + 1ml Mintop Forte 5% twice a day (4ml of 5% minoxidil). But it is not helping.
Once in a week I apply Oliv Oil + Mustard Oil stored in a bottle with Fenugreek Seeds on my hair.
I dont drink very often but I smoke like 2-3 cigg per day
I dont exercise. Want to but im too lazy
I have few questions before I start finasteride...
1) Finax (By dr. Reddy Lab)... Is this brand ok? I think this will be easily available in my city.
2) How much finasteride per day should I start with?? 0.5mg or 1mg/Day?
3) What precautions should I take before taking finasteride? (Diet, tests)
4) What precautions should I take during the period of taking finasteride? (blood tests to check liver, gyno, Erectile dysfunction, stress, depression etc...).
5) What diet should I follow? Which vitamin supplements should I take?
6) Should I keep using minoxidil 4ml/Day = (2 morning +2 at night)?
7) How should I keep track of any side effects of finasteride and what should I do if I face any side effects? Should I quit finasteride or continue taking it with reduced dosage?
8) I shampoo my hair everyday. I use Head n Shoulders.
I shampoo everyday because my scalp is more visible when i have oily hair.
Should I add Nizoral 1% (2-3 days a week) to my regime?
9) What kind of Exercise should I do to keep myself and my hairs healthy?
Looking forward for advises. Thanking you all in advance.
