The conversation is about finding a reliable source for oral minoxidil in the EU, as the original supplier is out of stock. The user is currently using finasteride and oral minoxidil for hair loss treatment.
The user experienced hair regrowth using daily oral finasteride and topical minoxidil applied about five times a week, with some existing hair becoming thicker and new growth appearing. They also used dermastamping once a month and are considering adding topical GHK-Cu to their regimen.
The user has been taking 2.5 mg of oral minoxidil daily since mid-January and has used finasteride for about five years, noting a decrease in its effectiveness. They are questioning whether their hair appears thicker due to minoxidil or if it's just longer.
Oral minoxidil and finasteride can show results in 3-6 months, with peak results at 12-18 months. Finasteride is more effective for maintaining hair than regrowth, with significant regrowth in about 60% of users.
The user switched from topical to oral Minoxidil and is experiencing hair shedding without significant regrowth, despite using Finasteride and Dutasteride. They are considering whether their body isn't responding to oral Minoxidil and are exploring options like dermarolling.
