Basically I'd like experiences regarding these two substances for both sexes, I'd like to add one of both to my next order.
We've been using topical minoxidil for my boyfriend, and based on what I read, oral could be somewhat more effective. But people usually say that finasteride is more effective, and it's usually only contraindicated for women... I'm still concerned about the hormonal effects it has on men, and don't want any for him.
What's your experience, is oral minoxidil as effective as finasteride for men? And are they really better than the topical solution?
I've been also eyeing RU55481, but that also seems to have more side effects than minoxidil.
What about women? I think finasteride should only be a problem for pregnant women. (I don't have a hair problem, but I'm concerned that a longer cycle would make me leave more hair in my brush.)
If anyone has used these, experiences are welcome.
