Topical Cetrizine for Hair Loss instead of Finasteride (Propecia)

[Conpecia]

I don't get it. Why in the **** do you think you're balding? You have a perfect hairline. Go enjoy your life. Come here every 3 months and post a photo and ask if you are noticeably balding at all, and until someone says yes don't even think about hairloss. You should not be on this forum.

Ok guys, in the future i will not post anymore. It wasnt my attention to annoy anybody and i am sry if I hurted somebody feelings.
I am aware that my hair status is pretty good compared to other. I never mentioned anything else, i just said that i had a small problem with my left temple.
But anyway my Doctor told me 2 years ago that i have a beginning Androgenetic Alopecia and i got finasterid from him.
For the accusation that because of me anybody is losing time and money is pretty stupid by the way.
First point is that cet is not really expensive at all and the second thing is that i got some new hair in my (small ) temple area, so that its almost closed.
That proofed for me, that the theory of pgd2 isnt so wrong ( that was my main goal, to see if the new science is maybe pointing in the right direction).
And i think it maybe could even regrow hair for folks which lost their hair years ago but of course it would need a longer time. I am totally aware that i am not a good reference for those people, probably caprez for example is a better one.
But i thought it would be interesting for you if this treatment is doing anything at all, which you also can see on an early stage.... to back the pgd2 theory.

But on your reactions i can see thats probably not the case. Therefore i wont bother you anymore with my studpid observation or imagination how you call it

Thanks for the input, man. Good to hear from a wide range of people if things appear to be working or not. It's true you've got little to worry about compared to most of us on this forum, but your input is still very much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to post...and yeah, the guys are right: go and enjoy your healthy head of hair. Haha.

Hi guys, am a newbie from indonesia, this my first post in tis forum.. I been following this thread and latter decided to apply cet+water.. Cet in my country is very cheap, around $1.50 containing 30pills @10mg for generic one..there are lots of brands, d price ranging from 1.50-5.

I'll try it tonight, and hole it will also work for me..

Hey guys. Thought I'd drop an observation on ya.
Maybe its my imagination or maybe not but I've been using Cet without any filtering of the so-called "filler material" that settles at the bottom of the bottle after dissolving the Cet tablets. When I'm ready to use Cet I just shake the bottle a few times to stir everything up and then apply.

Cet is doing great for me and I swear it appears to be kicking major a$$ since I stopped filtering.

I know you've already said this, but do you mean by "kicking major a$$..." that it regrown hair or maintained? or both?
I've been reading the whole topic a while ago but I don't remember what you said about that results.

Regrowth

Hey Fan Halen, glad to hear your getting regrowth, do apply minoxidil? If you do, how and when do u apply it and how long after cet. Thanks

No minoxidil here. Just Cet and water.

Hi Everyone,
Been lurking on this thread for a while. Thinking of giving this a try, and did a Google search. Seeing as how the inactive ingredients are hindering in some fashion, I looked for pure Cet and found this: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/687729848/Pure_Cetirizine_powder_CAS_NO_83881.html

Hi Everyone,

How did you come to that conclusion?

 

[alscarmuzza]

well, several posts looking for a method of extraction to exclude unwanted ingredients (fillers). It would seem to be more reliable to calculate dosing without the fillers. At least, as far as I can tell.

Calculate dosing? What kind of mathematics are you using with your Cet?

Hi, I am the Haircules from alopezie.de, the German forum some of you are reading.

The German forum:
So far about more than 10 people have tried the Cet mixture with alcohol+PG. As far as I can tell only one of us had a significant success (Minox86) but he was using his own mixture Cet+Pantosin. The others on the one hand have a nice feeling on the scalp (no more itching) plus no more dandruffs. On the other hand they have a massive shed and no regrowth, so many cancelled this regime. Now it has been quiet, which can be interpreted as "it's not working, so we don't use it anymore".

Cet+water vs. Cet+alcohol:
In our forum there has also been a discussion whether alcohol influences the effect of Cet and Pilos (I don't know what he does for living, he seems to be a chemist or something) put some thought into it and denied the hypothesis that Cet loses its effectives in alcohol. In his opinion Cet+water does have no effect because it is not penetrating the scalp since water is not absorbed through the skin and mixing Cet with alcohol does even have some positive effect because there are some esterifications which should be good (I don't understand this stuff).

My results:
I also have tried this and my results are not very good results. You can see them here, here and here.
I was wondering if some of you, who have a significant success, could publish or send me in private some pictures as well.

So... no updates here in almost 5 days (!!)... nothing new to report I guess...?

 

[Benjamin36]

I think this has pretty much died out.

I think this has pretty much died out.

Oh well...I've heard that turning your head to the right rapidly 5 times a day while you pee reduces DHT.
Could this be the cure?

 

[Chromeo]

Nah, not really died out, it's just that there's only so much you can ask / tell about a certain subject. It's still coming along very well, but it's a slow process. At my level of balding, it's going to take at least a good few more months on this stuff to get back to a decent level. But yes, it's still working and I'm still keeping up with the applications. Ordering 12 more packs this week.

 

[Diamond Dave]

Yup, I'm with Chromeo. Still coming along at a slow but constant pace. I'm in it for the long haul as long as things continue like this.

On the other hand they have a massive shed and no regrowth

Thanks for the info. I'm curious as to whether people kept up application beyond the shed. I've seen commentary here about people experiencing a shed and then getting growth but it's all rather unscientific and speculative.
