Propecia, Rogaine and Ketoconazole shampoo

[marcusvell]

Hi, everyone. My dermatologist prescribed the above three medications for hair loss I noticed about 3 months ago. It was minor hair loss but I was worried because I'm 27 and my family has a history of hair loss. My younger brother actually started losing hair but didn't do much about it. He ended up losing quite a bit of hair. Anyway I have a couple questions that I'm hoping someone will be able to answer.

1. I've read that I'm actually suppose to lose (Or shed in this case) more hair initially when I start my treatment. It's been 3 months and I've noticed that my hair has thinned some. How long does it take for my hair to start regrowing? I'm guessing it'll be a while.

2. I read up on ketoconazole and I'm not sure why my dermatologist prescribed it for me. I'm suppose to apply it to my hair every other day. Generally it's prescribed for fungus or dandruff neither of which I have. Wikipedia says that supposedly it helps with hair loss somehow? Does it work in conjunction with propecia and rogaine?

3. Should I use a particular type of shampoo?
