How is Rogaine for Women Different from Rogaine for Men?
August 11th, 2006Can One Treat Hair Loss Using Rogaine and Propecia Together?
August 7th, 2006Q Do Rogaine and Propecia work synergistically?
A: They are synergistic, since the mechanisms of action are different.
Rogaine directly stimulates hair growth, while Propecia is permissive for hair growth by blocking DHT, the byproduct of testosterone that causes hair to miniaturize and eventually disappear.
The important thing to remember, however, is that for most people, Propecia is [...]
Can Women Use Propecia to Treat Hair Loss and Does Their Age Matter?
August 3rd, 2006Q: I have early thinning on the top of my scalp and I was told to use Propecia, but I heard that is was only for men. What do you think?
A: Women can’t take Propecia during the child-bearing years because, if ingested, it can cause birth defects in male offspring.
In post-menopausal women, where we see [...]
Can One Treat Hair Loss Effectively Using Rogaine Once a Day?
July 20th, 2006Q: If Rogaine is used only once a day will it still be effective?

The reason is, although minoxidil has a relatively short half-life of several hours when given orally, when topically applied, [...]
When Will Propecia Hair Loss Medication be Available in Generic Form?
July 14th, 2006Q: I heard that Proscar, the 5mg version of finasteride, is now generic. Is that correct and is Propecia going generic as well?
A: Yes, Finasteride 5mg (Proscar) is now available in a generic formulation. It is my understanding that Finasteride 1mg (Propecia) will not be available generically until the year 2012.
