proscar
Finasteride goes by the brand name Propecia (for MPB) and Proscar (for BPH) and is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor used to treat male pattern baldness (MPB) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) [enlargement of the prostate]. The medication works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts testosterone to its bioactive metabolite dihydrotestosterone thus decreasing its levels in the body.

If you experience side effects or if you plan to discontinue it, it is best that you discuss this with your doctor, who knows your medical history and the management plan of your condition. Side effects of proscar include trouble getting or keeping an erection, decrease in sex drive, decreased volume of ejaculate, and ejaculation disorders. Take care and do keep us posted.

Will the hair treatment lotion 'Rogaine' cause a false negative for a HIV test?
The Rogain brochure ;says do not have a blood test whilst using this product'.
The reason rogaine works is not because it has some super hair growth formula in it, it is because when using rogaine, you massage it in to your scalp. Basically waking those sleeping hair folicals. You can achieve the same result by strictly massaging your scalp for 3 to 5 minutes ever night when washing your hair. The best indication of a genetic hair loss is to look at your mothers father. If he had balding it was most likely bred into you.
I also switched birth control brands at this time so had blood tests done to see what was going on but they said all came back fine and it was probably stress. I started on Rogaine and after about 6 months, the hair loss stopped and all seemed fine though I did have chest pains, went to a cardiologist, had a CAT scan and he said it was just stress. Wow. Then, my husband and I moved to France. Again, hair loss. I started back on the Rogaine and just waited it out.
HI I've been losing my hair since May, almost 9 months. It's so thin now I have very thin hair now and it's still shredding. I've had blood tests done and they all came back ok.

I'm with you Chris...
I also had laser hair removal on my face to thin my beard... I had two treatments and I also greatly regret the decision. I'm am hoping there is a way to reverse the laser hair removal process. As crazy as it sounds, I am thinking of trying rogaine to reverse the process.
recently I met with an accident and from there onwards my hair automatically fall like anything and at the age of 15 I used so many hair gels for my hair that I have a silky hair and it grows up very fast and for look like a fashionable guy I used to apply gels on hair and may be it is also a one of the reason.one year back i troubled with family tensions and I get stressed more and I even get weaker some time. At present in my life there is so much of worrying about my problem of stress...
ve been using Rogaine), crepy skin, wrinkles, dry skin, sagging everything, varicose and bulging veins, and basically the loss of my looks. And I am so tired. I take a host of supplements, and use a red laser about 3 times a week. I have had no exercise in the last few months though and alot of stress. I weigh 115 at 5'3. Any advice other than cry and add exercise back in as well as quit my profession lol?
It works similar to Rogaine but is natural and does not have the same side effects Rogaine has on some people. You must diffuse the oil and there are a lot of suggestions with what to diffuse it with. Almond, jojoba, castor oil appear to be the most common.
For the past 6 months I have been using rosemary diffused with almond with particular attention to the front of my head. I feel like it might have worked a little.
I am 67 years old, and have gradually developed some symptoms which I think suggest BPH. [not on Proscar etc.].
However, my PSA is now 1,8.[risen 0.5 over 18 months]
Prior PSA:
05/11 =1.3
11/10= 1.1
04/10= 1.1
04/09= 1.2
10/08= 1.1
01/08= 0.9
11/07= 0.8
07/07= 1.1
12/05= 0.8
01/05= 0.6
07/04= 0.7
10/02= 0.9
08/02= 0.9
05/98= 0.9
DRE -no nodules
What is likelihood this rise represents Ca, and what is next suggestion?
Thanks!
My beard is lacking in several places, especially my very thin mustache, and I terribly want to have a full thick and masculine beard. However, I'm now nearly 32, and even though my hormones are all in the normal range, I doubt there is much more growth to occur without some help - if it's available. I even considered using Rogaine on my face where the beard is weak. But I really would appreciate a response. Thanks in advance.
I'm a 15 year old now and I've been experiencing thinning since I was 12 and now it's gotten to the point where my entire head besides the sides has abnormally thin hair. I noticed it 6th grade but didn't think much of it until last year and I went to a dermatologist who gave me rogaine. I used it for about 8 months and was given no result at all with no change and since then it has gotten worse.
I have heard that some people take Rogaine to boost their hair growth and that this is the only medication that has been approved by the FDA for this. I've also heard that once you start taking Rogaine, you must continue to take it religiously or you will lose the hair again.
Another option might be to look into hair plugs. This is where they take pieces of existing hair or "plugs" of hair, and transplant them to other parts of the scalp.
