    I cant say for sure if adding it to my Finasteride medication has been playing a major part in my hairs improvement or not. My hair loss has been stopped and IS certainly improving since I started using Fin last August 2013.
    Ill keep using Niz' as instructed though. No harm in its usage.
    Its the fin not the niz. I mean fin is without question head and shoulders above all other treatments right now in terms of evidence and studies. Without fin MPB is nearly untreatable. It was an enormous breakthrough for sure. Sadly 20 years later after its patent wore out we still have nothing since then despite knowing for 20 years androgens cause MPB

    What makes finasteride head and shoulders above minoxidil, wouldn't they not be equally effective in combating MPB?

    Minoxidil stimulates hair follicles and growth, but does not reduce DHT or the enzyme responsible for its accumulation around the hair follicle, 5-alpha reductase, which is the primary mediator of male pattern baldness in genetically susceptible individuals.
