Do You Think the Iron Supplement or Minoxidil Contributed to My Regrowth?
November 30th, 2009 admin
I’m a 24 year old male and have microcytic anemia (most likely) due to iron deficiency. I had been able to halt my MPB hair loss by taking finasteride (1mg) since age 18, however experienced rapid shedding about nine months ago. To stop the hair loss, I added minoxidil 5% to my regimen and started taking ferrous gluconate tablets for my anemia. My hair has all grown back and I’m trying to assess if the iron supplement, the minoxidil or both likely contributed to my marked … [ visit site to read more ]

Hi Doc, I have to say, this is really nice what you’re doing in this site. My question is this… I was using minoxidil for a year and I suddenly stopped. I had hair fall immediately and now my hair is very thin. How does someone stop or taper minoxidil treatment? Currently I am on propecia medication. Do you think I’m still going...
I am a male in my late 20’s, I’ve had hair loss for about 3 years. Went to a DR in the city in March and he prescribed Finasteride and Minoxidil. After about a month, I started seeing GREAT results, hair became stronger and stopped falling out and began growing again! Then 2 or 3 weeks ago, I started shedding again like crazy and it has...
Hello Dr Rassman, Ive been on propecia for about 2 years now, for the first year i was taking the brand name tablets but i read on here that i would be able to get the generic 5mg finasteride tablets and just cut them up into 4 pieces. So since then ive just been cutting up the pills. The last time i went to pick up my prescription the actual tablet...
hey doctor, it seems everywhere (mainly hair loss forums) i read it’s saying that propecia is meant to just maintain hair and that any regrowth is an added bonus. But propecia’s website says in their 2 year study that 66% of men had visible regrowth. 2/3 sounds like the majority of people should regrow hair. furthermore the 5 year study...
Dr. Rassman, Thanks again for maintaining this blog. I have asked a number of questions before and appreciate your prompt responses. I have a few questions about minoxidil and propecia. Here they are: I have been using minoxidil (liquid solution) for almost a year. A couple of months back it really started to irritate my scalp. I am almost convinced...
Dr Rassman, My question is: does finasteride play any role in maintaining minoxidil dose-dependent hair? I got started on 5% minoxidil topical in early Feb, 2009. My derm prescribed Finasteride oral 1mg/day too, but I did not pursue that medication due to the usual side-effects related concerns. There was an initial minox-induced shed: not a massive...
Hello Doctor, This is a hairline receding question. I have witnessed hair thinning and the hairline receding on the far right side of the temple. I’m certain that the same is making it’s way to the otherside and I’m not quite sure what to make of it. I am 25 years old and this thinning has gained pace ever since I moved to the eastern...
I’ve been using minoxidil on and off for about 8 months now. I apply it once a day and quite often miss days or a few days. At one point I missed two weeks. I don’t think it has done much for my hair and have recently started propecia. With regards to stopping minoxidil (if you think I should), should I come off it gradually or will stopping...

I have taken propecia and minoxidil for approximately 2 weeks (and have since stopped). I noticed blurred vision and believe it to be attributed to either the propecia or minoxidil, or both. My questions is if my blurred vision is associated with either product. will the blurring go away now that I have stopped. Please respond. I haven’t read...
