[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 238596, member: 38109"] I'm sure you've seen guys on the hair loss sites talking about the "big three" treatments, these being minoxidil, finasteride and ketoconazole. Unfortunately there's nothing better yet. I think topical finasteride is a reasonable compromise between risk and reward. It should be combined with oral and/or topical minoxidil. Topical finasteride can still have pretty significant systemic effects. You'll be somewhat able to monitor this by observing the reduction in serum DHT. My personal experience is that topical finasteride does not cause noticeable problems, whereas oral finasteride is devastating. Oral finasteride was quite insidious, in that side effects crept in gradually over time, delaying my recognition of the source. The side effects began to abate as soon as I stopped the drug, but it still took a couple years to return to normal. [/QUOTE]
