besides propecia and monoxidel, what other ancillaries are there to help stop or slow the process of male pattern balding if the test subject is prone to balding?

Thats the only ones I know that help. The best is probably propecia, but it is most effective on posterior baldness and signs of improvement usually take up to 6 months to see. It would almost be known beneficial considering the length of the common cycle.

There are some herbal things you might try as well. Saw Palmetto is one. It has the same action as finasteride, its a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor, and stop the conversion of testosterone to dyhydrotestosterone. The other thing is a solution of cayenne pepper and water. I am totally serious. It forms a paste which you put onto the scalp and leave it for 20 minutes. It stimulates blood flow the area being treated and has great results.

Ive never used but some have suggested nizoral shampoo. should be able to find in your local pharmacy. i would try that first for sure, b/c so easy to use and easy to get. plus wont effect strength like finasteride/dutasteride.

My hair was shedding like crazy after my last cycle of TPP, NPP and Winny. I blame the winny @100mg/day. It was really bad and freaked me out.
Sterted the following regimen:

- Finasteride 0.5mg daily
- Minoxidil 15% once a day (I apply it before bed)
- Nizoral 2% three times a week.

After a couple of weeks the shedding stopped completely and my hair is thicker and healthier than I can ever remember it. It is a pain to deal with all this, but in the end worth it to me.
