Hi everyone,
I know this is a very frequent subject but there are so many varied topics on this subject I thought I would try to get some answers in one place. I've found a doctor (Dr farjo) who after having done a lot of research I'm feeling confident that I will go for a consultation with him.
About a year ago i was considering taking some medical treatment and so I went to my gp with loads of printouts of some treatments I liked the sound of (Minonoxile/finasteride). At the time i felt that these were probably not going to create miracles although considering they were prescription medications I was curious to know what my gp said. But to be honest he seemed kind of dismissive about them and in a way kind of stated that I would be best to try and accept the hair loss as none of the medications would create big changes and to keep 'smiling'...
In a way he seemed right but NOW things seem very different. Having been researching into hair transplants and viewing these forums so many people seem to be taking medications such as these that it seems to be a routine and I'm reconsidering getting some prescribed, especially when my consultation with farjo is not until september.
Although I like the sound of minoxidile, I'm not really bothered about 'regrowing hair' and from what I've read, it doesn't STOP the hairloss. Finasteride seems to be the main thing to take even though it does have some side effects. Anyway, I think I will go to my gp this week and see if I can get it presscribed, but in the meantime I am curious to know what other people are taking and am I doing the right thing?
