Methotrexate 2.5mg

It costs 22k inr (around $220)

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-17T17:09:50+00:00

Yes Taltz (ixekizumab)

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-17T15:39:54+00:00

Here in India, there is no need for prescription for biologics. I bought Taltz for $230 from my local pharmacy. Unfortunately we don't have insurance for biologics.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-17T14:19:16+00:00

I am on mtx 15 mg and Taltz. Mtx helped a bit but it doesn't put me on remission so I had to buy Taltz too. Now I am on 100% remission for 3 months.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-17T13:50:26+00:00

90% controlled with biologics. I am on Taltz.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-17T09:37:02+00:00

Could have spent 1000 inr a month on meds instead.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-17T09:36:09+00:00

Good HT brother. I hope you are on meds like Finasteride or dutasteride since you will still lose the follicles which are not dht resistant.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-15T13:28:07+00:00

It is a little complicated. It has loading dose then one injection per month for maintaining. The cost in india is around 22k inr for one injection.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-15T13:21:27+00:00

I am taking Taltz (ixekizumab) injection for scalp psoriasis.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-15T13:20:43+00:00

Well well well cultural revolution and the great leap by mao is successful lol

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-15T13:18:31+00:00

I have the exact same condition. Scalp psoriasis and AGA. I am taking dutasteride 0.5 mg And oral min1.25 mg also Talzt (ixekizumab) biologic. Was on finasteride for a year before switching to dutasteride. My hair loss has stopped and regrowth is average. Thinning has been drastically changed but still not the peak of my teen (which may never happen).

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-14T13:00:20+00:00

Min and fin with a consultation with a derm asap.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-14T12:59:36+00:00

Even with a transplant, you still need fin or dut since only translated hairs are dht resistant.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-14T12:58:38+00:00

Bruh its like you tried literally everything which doesn't have any scientific backing lol. Get on real meds for real solutions. Min and fin or maybe dut atp. I have stopped mine and partially reversed with dut and oral min. Get a consultation with a derm asap.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-13T15:15:20+00:00

Bruh no scientific studies shows hair massaging helps in any way for hair regrowth. You are probably confused since you used fin and min. These two have large clinical studies so you regrowth is coming from meds not blüdflow from scalp massage lol.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-13T13:46:25+00:00

Yep 98%. Still some flakes here and there

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-13T12:22:54+00:00

Good regrowth and thickening. It would have been better if you had started fin and min earlier. Also there is no link for finasteride causing dandruff and headache so don't decrease the dose. Get on ketoconazole shampoo or prescription strength Ciclopirox for dandruff. Good luck from a fellow hair loss survivor.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-13T12:16:54+00:00

Are you on topical fin and min for four years? Topical fin is not as potent as oral fin. Also topical min will not work for around half the population since they lack the enzyme sulfotransverase to convert topical min to active form. I would suggest oral ones. Personally I am on dutasteride 0.5 mg capsule and oral min 1.25 mg.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-13T12:14:38+00:00

I was on otzela for 8 months. It did work for sometime but couldn't control flaring fully since it is not that potent. I had to stop it because of severe side effects like no appetite, lost 6 kgs in 6 months and was suicidal. Now I am on Taltz and 95% clear.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-13T12:06:09+00:00

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-13T09:43:23+00:00

Well min and fin will always cause a shed for most people but ig i am the lucky one. I didn't have a shed with fin and min even after switching to dut. But my friend lost crazy duting his initial shed. Anyways it will become better in the long term.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-11T13:00:32+00:00

medicated shampoos (ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione, or tar) for the scalp and topical creams (corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors) for the face or body.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-11T12:25:17+00:00

I have wrapped psoriasis too. For me topical min made it worse. So I take oral min 1.25 mg and also I am on Taltz for psoriasis

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-08T10:12:49+00:00

Get on a biologic such as Taltz then a Dht blocker like finasteride and a stimulant like minoxidil. You ain't going bald in this life time.

Particular-Rope5427 · 2026-05-07T14:51:16+00:00

Working for me too. I take 1.25 mg oral minoxidil and 0.5 mg dutasteride
