FDA Products
Propecia
 | Propecia's
claim to fame is to
maintain. 83% of men
studied were able to
maintain their original
follicle count, and 64%
experienced regrowth after 2
years. Propecia does
this by inhibiting the
creation of DHT in your
system.
DHT
is a naturally occurring
hormone which assists with
sexual development in males
during fetal development and
puberty. When a man
begins to undergo that
second "change of
life", DHT becomes some
hair follicles' worst enemy.
Follicles at the front, top,
and upper back of the head
in most men are genetically
programmed to become
susceptible to DHT at some
point in the man's life.
Those hairs which cover the
sides and bottom back of the
head typically are not,
which is why most men do not
lose hair in these areas.
During
hair loss, DHT begins to
treat your follicles as
foreign objects in your
body. Similar to an
auto-immune response, it
slowly begins to reject the
follicles. During this
time there typically is
increased Sebum production
which can lead to excessive
itching and scarring.
All of these things
contribute greatly to why
men begin to lose hair.
This is also an extremely
long process, and the cycles
for hair growth are
typically about 3-9 months.
Without a DHT inhibitor
either systemically (in the
bloodstream) or locally in
the scalp, each time your
hair cycles, the follicle
will become thinner,
shorter, and ultimately it
will not grow back in.

| What's
all the
Hub-bub
about? |
| If
someone
were to
tell you
that you
had an
83%
chance
of
keeping
all the
hair you
currently
have
today by
taking
one pill
one time
a day,
would
you do
it?
With a
Prop (finasteride)
prescription,
it's not
only a
possibility,
it's
becoming
a
reality
for
hundreds
of
thousands
of men.
Rather
than
fill
your
brain
with all
the
medical
jargon,
we are
going to
give you
in
layman's
terms
exactly
how this
treatment
works,
how well
it
works,
what its
side
effects
are, and
where
you can
buy it.

The
Study
Merck
conducted a two
year clinical
trial, in which
1,553 men ages 18
to 41 with mild to
moderate thinning
/ balding at the
top of the head
took this
treatment daily.
At the 2 year
mark, 83% of them
had maintained
their hair (based
on hair count) and
66% of them had
experienced
regrowth. A side
assessment by the
doctors in the
study rated 80% of
men as improved,
at the end of the
period.

Rogaine
(Minoxidil)
| Minoxidil's
claim to fame is stimulating
growth. 59%
experienced increased
hair-count after 4 months of
use. Minoxidil does
not inhibit one of the main
causes of thinning hair, DHT.
However, a combination
regimen of Minoxidil and
Propecia together are known
to be probably the most
effective treatment
available today.
I
Time
Tested...baldy approved
In
1988, Pharmacia & Upjohn
Company introduced the first
FDA-approved product proven
to regrow hair. Since 1996,
in light of their excellent
safety profile, Rogaine
Regular Strength for Men and
Rogaine for Women have been
sold as over-the-counter
(non prescription) drugs.
Rogaine extra strength is
now sold over the counter as
well. It is a clear
solution you apply to the
top of your scalp where hair
is thinning.
Rogaine
is available as a pre-mixed
product created by Upjohn,
but you can very easily
obtain the active
ingredients in generic
versions of this product.
We
have made this accessible
for you at the bottom of
this page.
What
exactly is it?
Minoxidil
in its 2% form has been
approved for use in both Men
and Women, however the 5%
mixture has just recently
been approved for over the
counter distribution, but is
only for use in Men.
Minoxidil is an ingredient
which works to stimulate the
hair follicles into growth.
It is safe to say that the
5% version is the strongest
regrowth product available
over the counter, while the
2% is something you may wish
to start with if you're just
starting to experience balding.
Once
again it is important to
pace yourself with hair loss
treatments. As with
any treatment, you run the
risk of it losing its
effectiveness over time, so
start light, see if it
works, then increase to 5%
if you are not seeing the
results you want.
Pros
and Cons
If
you're like most people, the
big question is "Where
do I start?"
Trying to decide the answer
to this question is one of
the toughest because
starting something means a
major commitment. So
the two major players are
Propecia and Minox.
Here are some benefits of
Minox over Propecia:
| You
can buy Minoxidil
without Prescription,
whereas Propecia
requires one
| | Minox
works locally, and since
it is a topical, its
systemic (internal)
effects are minimal,
whereas Propecia
directly alters the Male
Hormonal system.
| Minox
in its 2% form is safe
for use in both Men
*and* Women, whereas
Propecia is only for use
in Men |
|
Propecia
and Minoxidil, the Ultimate
Combination
If
you are looking to kick start
some regrowth, and maintain
what you have, but have had no
success on other treatments,
or on Propecia or Rogaine
alone, combining them is a
sure way to optimize your
results.
