Fredde said:According to this study there is no medication that is really effective against hairloss in the hairline and frontal zone. I lost some hair in the temples during my first cycle.
My concern for the next cycle, which will be test and eq, is that proscar will not be effective against hairloss in the hairline.
I will also add nizoral, spiro and azleic azid (spelling).
Any comments regarding this from people that have this kind of hairloss pattern and used proscar and other supplements is greatly appreciated!
It's not really a study. It's my writing, interpreting the current data for you. Finasteride may indeed help with hairline and frontal loss, it's just been shown to be more effective against crown loss. Likewise for minoxidil.
No one has studied whether finasteride will get the levels of DHT down significantly during a cycle, where test levels are very supraphysiologic. We know that 1 mg of finasteride will dramatically reduce levels of 5-AR, and thus DHT after just 24-48 hours. But, if test level is at 3500, for example, will that cut it? I don't know if anyone knows.
We're really on uncharted waters here. I would thnik that doing whatever possible that does not cause harm would be in order: finasteride, Nizoral, topicals, etc.
