Finasteride?

[biohazard999]

I heard that stuff helps with baldness. Is that true? If so, what are the side effects?

Proscar (one brand name of this drug) really does work. I have talked with urologists about this even. I don't really like it though. It blocks DHT by messing with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme responsible for conversion of testosterone to DHT (dihyrotestosterone).

I think you will only benefit from it if using testosterone esters. Blocking DHT can reduce acne, aggression, shrink the prostate, and restore scalp hair, as well as preventing excessive body hair growth.

So the FDA approved it enlarged prostates and male-pattern baldness. If you take this drug, especially without steroids you may experience decrease in libido. Also, when I took it I almost immediately experienced a drop in strength. This is because will DHT is not anabolic it has stimulating effects in the brain. As you should know, strength is determined with how well the central nervous sys interacts with muscle tissue.

Stopping medication may cause hair loss to continue, will restore CNS induced strength loss, and a prostate condition may worsen.

Bottomline: if not using testosterones, you probably don't need Proscar.

It depends on where you are losing your hair, I had a receeding hairline and have been on propecia for 7 years and most of my hair came back. Rogaine is made for the back part of your hair.

Dutasteride is better for hair loss than finasteride.

Rogaine works on top too. The studies were only done on the crown so they can only advertise what they tested. I used on the top and crown with pretty good results.

For sure. Anyone with bad sides from Fin should stay away from Duta.

[lifterjaydawg]

I would look into dutasteride as well.
