Cetirizine

[Conpecia]

Something's definitely up with this stuff. Seen a couple photos of guys at the 6 month mark with pretty noticeable regrowth. Apparently combining with a minox regimen is the way to go. Let's not fall asleep on this around here, we may have bailed too early.

Cet/Minox could replace Fin/Minox is the hope...

I jumped on the band wagon with this a few weeks ago and bought my local pharmacy out of the antihistamine but was only using it orally.

I know most people are using it topically and I know there probably isn't any reliable evidence yet to decide which route is better, if any.

But if the general consensus is that you have to do a quick extration of the pills and then use a vehicle then I will but at the moment I'm either just taking them orally or if Im more honest, lately not at all as Im quite happy with minox/capil/duta.

I did even go the MSM Vit C route and have massive stocks of both of them but am thinking it is probably best to take an additive approach as I had great results with fin just couldnt handle the sides and so far so good with Duta just obviously no regrowth as its only just been started.

If certirizine does prove successful then that would be great as in my head there is definitely an inflammatory involvement in MPB as well as many other possible factors. the obvious being DHT of course.

Sorry guys, was up late last night and just wanted to report really quick. Here is the link:

Casperz has been on for 6 months and is obviously regrowing his crown area. Hasn't lost hair at all since his initial shed in the first month. That's the most important point to me, as minox alone would not be slowing down his loss.

Kamikaze has been on for 4 months and looks like he's regrowing a bit but there aren't before pics so take it with a grain of salt.

Chromeo is also saying he was on Minox for a while and didn't see anything, now that he's added Cet there are results. Unfortunately he has no before or after pics but I don't think there's any incentive for him to just lie about it; not like these are guys at some snake oil company who can profit off of selling Cetirizine, which is very cheap and widely available. Vehicle is just Cet and water. Really simple. Anyone who's on Minox should consider adding it if the good news keeps coming.

Thanks. That's exactly what I will do as I already have everything.

Me too. But let me caution you: one guy said he burned a whole NW off his hairline using Cet that didn't grow back (not sure if he was using the right vehicle, nor do I think he stayed with it long enough to recover what he shed). But seeing as how you're on some other stuff, I'd wait until we get some more positive reports before adding it, honestly. One or two dudes claiming regrowth is great news, but it's by no means conclusive. We need like 20 people with pics over a year long period. I'd stick with your current regimen until we get more good news. Just lookin out for you man.

It would be interesting if we had people on fin and minox adding this!
