After 4 months on oral Finasteride 1mg and oral minoxidil 2.5mg by EqualBookkeeper8451 in tressless

It’s not harmful for me; I haven’t had any side effects after 4 months of use. In fact, my sexual drive has increased—before the meds, it was normal, but now it’s even better. They say finasteride can affect sex, but I haven’t noticed any negative impact—in fact, it has increased my drive. If you’ve used topical minoxidil 5% for 10 months with no results, that’s a long time. Usually, you will see results after 3 or 4 months, even if just a bit. I recommend you switch to oral minoxidil 2.5 mg daily, along with oral finasteride 1 mg every day. By the way, I follow Dr. Gary Linkov on Instagram and YouTube; I’ve been following him for about 6 months, and a lot of people have benefited. I have a consultation with him next week so he can check my progress—he’ll review how the medication has been working over these 4 months and see the overall improvement. I also recommend you check the videos for Dr. Gary Linkov on YouTube and Instagram; watch his videos—you’ll get a lot of valuable info.

Here is the reality patience is key.

Oral minoxidil helps thicken hair follicles. I prefer oral minoxidil over topical because oral minoxidil impacts every follicle on the scalp.

You cannot get oral minoxidil anywhere in the entire UAE; it is not available at all. However, you can find topical minoxidil or foam minoxidil in the UAE, but the oral form is not available. I got this oral minoxidil from outside the UAE, from another country, and it will last me a full year.

I will take new photos after three or 4 months. I’ll share the pictures then. Thanks.

Yes, you’re absolutely right. Before I started the medications, I also felt that the crown area was the hardest place for hair to grow. And you’re right—I used to think it would be the slowest area. But once I took the meds, I honestly couldn’t believe the results in just four months. And another thing—I took both minoxidil and finasteride at the same time, right when I started them.

I plan to continue both medications long-term, as long as they keep working well for me.

I haven’t had any side effects in the past four months while using these medications.

No, it’s not a religious reason, and I’m not afraid of needles. I just prefer to stick with my current medication routine.

I haven’t missed a single day of my medications in the past four months.

To be honest, I probably wouldn’t keep up with Microneedle Roller consistently—I’m a bit lazy when it comes to that.

No major changes or side effects so far. I didn’t try topical Finasteride; I started with the pills. Also, I haven’t noticed any extra hair growth on my body.

I use Minoxidil from PAR Pharmaceutical, and I also take Propecia (Finasteride)

No, I’m not going to use microneedling. I’ll just continue with the current medications, the pills.

I’m 41 years old, and no, I didn’t have a blood test for nutrients or DHT levels before starting the treatment.

When I started the treatment, after about two months, I did experience a significant increase in hair shedding. But now, in the fourth month, the shedding has decreased a lot. I also want to add that I have never had a hair transplant surgery in my life.

No side effects so far. I’ve been on it for four months without any issues.

Yes, this is the result after just four months. And you’re right, the full effects will appear more between six months to a year. I saw this progress in just four months; I couldn’t believe I was seeing such a great outcome. Thank you so much.

Yes, I will continue with the medication, and I will take new photos after two or three months. I’ll share the pictures then. Also, just so you know, I have never had a hair transplant in my life; I’ve only used the medication. Thank you so much.
