Finasteride is metabolized in the liver and excreted through urine and feces. Users humorously discuss its excretion, with one joking about it being expelled through ejaculation.

A 23-year-old Asian male shared progress pictures after 3 months of using minoxidil, microneedling for 1.5 years, and taking vitamin supplements. Replies suggest adding finasteride or dutasteride for long-term hair maintenance.

The user is using Dercos Vichy shampoo with Aminexil, biotin, and a natural spray with peptides but is hesitant to start Minoxidil. A reply suggests starting Minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling soon.

A user is unsure if "Hair Energiser" tablets are effective for hair growth after a year of use. Replies suggest using finasteride instead and call the tablets a scam.

The user switched to dutasteride in October 2023 and began taking oral minoxidil in June 2023, after using topical minoxidil for two years and microneedling for a year. They stopped using RU58841 due to side effects and are considering adding topical finasteride.

People shared experiences of hair loss after stopping minoxidil, despite also using finasteride. Some tried microneedling or hair transplants, but stopping minoxidil often led to significant hairline recession.

Minoxidil, often combined with microneedling, has helped some users improve hair growth at the temples and hairline. Finasteride is also mentioned as a treatment, with mixed results on its effectiveness.

An 18-year-old has been using topical finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss without noticeable improvement and is considering oral finasteride. Some users suggest starting oral finasteride at 18 is fine, especially if puberty is complete, while others recommend caution and consulting a specialist.

A person using Minoxidil, Finasteride, Microneedling, and recently added Tretinoin is experiencing heavy shedding and thinning hair. They suspect Tretinoin has made them respond to Minoxidil and are seeking others with similar experiences.

Minoxidil should be left on the scalp for at least 4-6 hours for effective absorption, even if it feels dry after 30 minutes. The skin's interaction with the chemical continues regardless of the solution's evaporation.
