Hi
I'm new here and had a few questions.
Can I take 1mg finasteride, 10mg minoxidil and 3dvifenacil?
I'm on 5mg finasteride, 5mg minoxidil and 5mg vifenacil. How is the medication used?
I'm currently taking minoxidil (Vivitrol) as the brand name is Propecia and I'm on it for a year. What does it do for my skin? Does it make me feel fuller?
It's a prescription drug, so you'll need to have your doctor check your blood pressure and potassium levels, as well as your liver function before and after taking the medication.
I'm worried about my hair loss. I'm currently on a low dose of finasteride, so it might make me feel fuller for a few months before I start noticing my hairline growing. How long will it take for me to start experiencing my hair growth? I've read a lot about minoxidil's effectiveness, but can't seem to find it on the internet.
Can anyone recommend any specific drug that is best for my hair?
Thanks
I'll do my best to check out the internet.
P. S. I'm on 5mg minoxidil and 5mg vifenacil. Any advice/help?Sun, 07/09/2025 8:06:00 -weeks=2Hi,
I'm on 5mg finasteride, 5mg minoxidil and 5mg vifenacil and can't find it in the Internet
How much does finasteride cost at the pharmacy?
I think the cost is too high, but I don't know if it will save me time or speed up my hair loss, although I do worry about my hair growth.
Sun, 07/09/2025 8:06:00 -weeks=6Thanks for the advice. I have the 5mg minoxidil and 5mg vifenacil and I can't find them anywhere at all.
Can I ask my doctor for more information about the medication?
Thank you
Absolutely, I don't know how long it will take for it to take effect.
But I've been on 5mg finasteride, 5mg minoxidil and 5mg vifenacil for a year and have noticed my hairline has more of a receding hairline.
The side effects are minimal.
Any suggestions?
But I've been on 5mg finasteride, 5mg minoxidil and 5mg vifenacil and have noticed my hairline has more of a receding hairline.
You're welcome, I'm always here to help!

Propecia (Finasteride) is one of the most popular medications used for treating male pattern baldness. It is a prescription medication that is available only by prescription. This medication is the active ingredient in Propecia, which is a type of medication known as a finasteride.
Propecia, which is sold under the brand name Proscar, contains the active ingredient finasteride. Propecia is used to treat male pattern baldness and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Finasteride works by blocking the action of a enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that contributes to the development of prostate and male characteristics. By blocking the action of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, finasteride can increase testosterone levels.
Propecia is most effective when taken once a day. It is not recommended to take Propecia with a heavy meal. This medication can also cause side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased ejaculate volume. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
It is important to be aware of the potential side effects of Propecia. Common side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased semen volume. In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur. These include breast tenderness, enlargement of breasts, and enlargement of the prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
The dosage of Propecia may vary depending on the type of hair loss and other factors. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional when using this medication.
Propecia can be taken with or without food. If you are taking Propecia on an empty stomach, take it at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. You should avoid taking it with grapefruit juice or grapefruit juice containing substances that can cause serious liver damage or other adverse effects.
It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist about any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, vitamins, nutritional supplements, or herbal products you are taking before starting treatment with Propecia. Some medicines, such as certain antibiotics, may interact with Propecia, leading to unwanted side effects.
