Kopexil (Aminexil) is not approved as a drug in the US and Europe because it is marketed as a cosmetic, which requires less testing and regulation. L'Oreal's 1.5% Aminexil is noted to reduce hair shedding, but its efficacy as a drug is not proven.
The conversation is about switching from brand-name Avodart to generic Dutasmart for hair loss treatment, with concerns about shedding and side effects. The user also discusses using oral Minoxidil and plans to increase the dose for better results.
A user received brandname Avodart instead of generic dutasteride for a lower price. Another user mentioned experiencing depression as a side effect but prefers having hair.
