It takes time for Finasteride to work, if it works for you. I believe it eliminates around seventy percent of
the DHT in the scalp. There have been people who have gotten worse. It can take up to two years to
see the maximum benefits of the medication.
Personally I've never had shedding with it. But there are some people who claim to have that. It's probably
just androgen alopecia.Comment

I think minox is a joke, especially because the moment you get off it you'll see immediate hair loss! finasteride has been a winner for me, but keep in mind it takes around a year to kick in!
Honestly, the most realistic avdantage out there is hair surgery. I had FUE (no scar) and was the best decision I've ever made.
