Difficulty getting a reliable supply, and suppliers. Plenty of people have had their fingers burnt in the past, sadly.

Thanks, but I do use RU with KB. I'm just very (very) prone to side effects. Fin, saw palmetto, RU, whatever aa; doesn't matter.

Not to downgrade Tracy because she is very helpful to a lot of people on the forum, but the days of propecia being the only good treatment are over.
In Europe, we have a good anti-androgen topical called Alpicort F. It is produced by a certain German doctor. It consists of estradiol and corticosteroids. I used it in 1997-99, before switching to minoxidil completely. No regrowth, but a very reliable maintenance. The only problem lies in potential side effects: atrophy of the skin.
What is very interesting is the fact that I observed no problems during switching from Alpicort F to minoxidil. I think that if I made a switch in the opposite direction, it would end up as a disaster.

It is insanely expensive, even from China. I got an offer 320 USD for 1 g. I don't know, how MPBtreatments can sell 3 g for 79 USD.

But take into consideration that his regrowth was very probably thanks to RU and minoxidil.

The insane shed I went through from December 2012 -February 2013 was without a doubt at the hands of Minoxidil.
It remains to be seen how well RU works in the coming months but so far things look great.

I hope RU works for a while. I have read 2 different people where it works for 5months to a year then a nasty shed takes place and it stops working. This is my biggest concern as my hair has gotten much thicker on it. In the mean time I am looking into CB and ASC-J9

Isnt atrophy a common side effect from topical steroids?
I'm curious though, if CB will have a similar effect if at all given that it only requires to be used at 1% concentration.
