I Was Told to Stop Finasteride 2 Weeks Before My Surgery
Hi There, I have had 2 procedures with a clinic and have been pretty happy with the results, however I seemed to lose a number of hairs due to (what I now know to be ) shock loss.

Could Minoxidil and Finasteride Benefit the Same Follicles?
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...
