Anyone use Fin and Min while on TRT? Thinking about hopping on a topical from hims. What are your experiences?
 
I use those topically (50 mg minoxidil, 0.2 mg finasteride) along with dutasteride (0.2 mg) and cetirizine (10 mg). No regrowth, but the rate of loss has become imperceptible.
 
I use a product with 15% minoxidil, azelaic acid and 1% finasteride. I have been using it for years with excellent results. The azelaic acid is a bit sticky, so there is a trick to using it.

Regardless of the product you buy, be sure to use a derma roller.

15% minox seems high. whats the product? any side effects?
 
I have used them for years and can attest to their quality and customer service. But, there are alternative sources, so find what works for you.

When I first started using this product I was thinning on top. After 90 days my hair was back to normal. I have never stopped using it and have not lost any more hair.

Topical maybe, but oral finasteride is bad deal. Finasteride has too many side effects, and puts your penis at risk. Long term finasteride use is associated with severe ED problems among others.

Oral Finasteride is pure poison. I tried it for a month many years ago and it took almost 6 months to return to normal. I haven't had any issues with the topical however.

Don’t use minoxidyl or finasteride ever!! This stuff is horrible and can severely decrease your DHT and sexual function. I had tried the finasteride/minoxidil spray from hims for a month or two until I read about the side effects. In some cases is can permanently hinder your DHT, look it up online, jay Campbell had a video with a doctor who treats patients. Big pharma downplays all the side effect info as usual! After I saw that I threw it away & cancelled my membership. watch this video & learn the truth:

I've been on oral minoxidil and 1mg finasteride every other day for a couple of years now. They've been effective for hair growth, but not overly dramatic. I started testosterone gel about five months ago and haven't noticed any changes in hair loss. Yesterday I replaced the gel with 100mg injections of trt every week because it didn't seem to be bringing my free testosterone levels up much. I'll report back if there's a difference.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
