Alternative to Propecia

[mack_435]

All I can say is that if I were a guy I would not touch Spironolactone in any form even with thick rubber gloves on.

If you have been on Propecia for a full year and you are still losing hair, you need to talk to your doctor to see what options might be available to you.

Thanks for the response Tracy. I didn't quit Propecia because it didn't work, I had to quit do to side effects. I have tried Propecia at two different times and both times around the 6 week mark I got side effects. The 2nd time I ws just taking .25 of a 1mg a day and unfortunately it still had the same effect.

So I guess my question to you Tracy, would be if someone can't take Propecia, what should they add to their routine? I currently use rogaine foam, laser comb and Nizoral.

If you can't take Finasteride, even at such a low dose, you certainly cannot take Dutasteride and absolutely should not even think about Spiro. Currently there is nothing else that is actually proven to work. If any alternative solution actually did work, it would likely have the same side effect profile.

sorry to bump this old thread but i was looking into spiro a bit. How would the cream cause side effects? Tracy you said you wouldn't touch it if you were a guy but wouldn't the cream be a lot better than an oral form of the drug?

I just couldn't see how cream on ones scalp would cause such side effects but then again i do not know very much about spiro.

Yeah, not sure I agree with Tracy on this one. I've been using s5 spiro cream for several months and have not experienced any side effects. From what I've read, a topical cream is absorbed very differently than an oral medication. I'm sure spiro taken orally would cause lots of unwanted side effects . . .
