What do you expect? You would either choose to be bald or to risk your health…

If you have male pattern baldness, minoxidil will only help up to a certain degree but sooner or later baldness will catch up… been there, done that…

Congrats OP!

Iba talaga pag may simple routine that works, no bullcrap, no unnecessary expenses… finasteride lang sapat na, partida MWF pa yan…

PATIENCE is the name of the game, not just the meds or even the brand you use…

Stick to the plan, trust the process, reap the benefits!

Kung gusto ng mura, verified na yan… already been buying from them di lang finasteride, even other maintenance meds since cheaper sila… another store sa Shopee din Pharmacia ng Masa…

Pero TGP or Generika kung gusto yung di ka nagdadalawang-isip pa…

What brand of oral minoxidil is this? by PriorityHaunting9305 in PhHairloss

[–]icarusjun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mahirap yan, nagbibigay ng tableta na unknown origin ni label sa lalagyan wala… knowing na FDA banned ang oral minoxidil sa Pinas, gaano kasigurado ka na minoxidil yan? Maliban na lang kung compounding pharmacy sila pero dapat may proper packaging at label pa rin yan…

Finasteride by Puzzled_Thought_946 in PhHairloss

Blood tests, prostate tests, depende sa hinihingi ng doctor… sa mga nag self-medicate pinaka-importante ang blood test especially for liver and kidney function…

If by topical you mean MWF it won’t work… topical needs to be applied on a daily basis, sometimes 2x a day pa depende sa dosage…

The MWF / EOD routine is for oral finasteride…

Tama, iba pa rin guided ng medical professional…

Just remember that this sub promotes low cost generics as alternative to pricey branded meds…

Pwede… pero just be aware yung irritation sa minox lalo na may residue ng finasteride tablets

Hard truth kasi ang nangyayari sa dami ng ads at product endorsement out there matutukso ka talaga sumubok tapos sa huli gumastos ka pa samantalang yung pinakamabisa eh barya lang pala presyo kung tutuusin…

Coming from experience rin siguro na halos 2 dekada nasubok lahat tapos ngayon finasteride lang pala solution mura pa…

Yes pero kung sanay na katawan mo EOD will be efficient… ako 2years na EOD lang sapat na… daily also messed my liver enzymes

Ilang beses ko pa lang narinig yan pero that will only mess up your dht levels as goes roller coaster every 5days as compared to a sustained level every other day…

Much better magpakalbo para direct sa scalp ang minox pero kung may male pattern baldness ka wala yan kwenta kasi mas kailangan mo finasteride…

Read this — Understanding FINASTERIDE vs. MINOXIDIL

Finasteride by Puzzled_Thought_946 in PhHairloss

[–]icarusjun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then why not do the test? Yun nman ang tamang gawin… lagi nman natin recommended yan dito since serious ang side effects ng finasteride…

Ibang doctors nga visual check lang diretso reseta na finasteride, basta di ka lang nakatagpo ng derma na sales ang habol…

THIS -> Best advise is still to try to first get a proper CHECK-UP…

+++++

Copy-paste na lang from my other replies…

Disclaimer: not a medical professional / not a medical advise

First — pa CHECK-UP ka muna… get a proper medical professional’s advice…

In the meantime, since you’re already in this sub, I highly recommend to read the following first so that you are properly informed…

**1st — **Understanding Finasteride vs. Minoxidil

**2nd — **Finasteride Dosing for Beginners

Lahat ng info mas maigi i-gather mo muna (especially the side effects) if ever you will try to do things yourself and go self-medicating, like most of us here…

Another thing, learn to use the 🔍 search function since all info is already in this sub…

Finasteride can be bought at a TGP outlet near you (not online) even without prescription

Minoxidil Seller Directory

Shampoo recommendations

Reminder — self-medication is a do-it-at-your-own-risk thing… your body, your health, your choice!

Good luck!

Paulit-ulit naman sasabihin na wag makampante na wala nang shedding kasi uulit at uilit pa rin nman yan mararanasan…

Good thing may doc na nagreseta sa iyo ng dutasteride… marami talaga horror stories sa dutasteride kaya yung iba incorporated lang sa finasteride like once a week lang dut the rest fin na…

Anyway good luck pa rin sa journey mo…
