Big 3 to fight hair loss

New Member Here,
I'm 28, noticed thinning 2 years ago in my crown. I've been using Viviscal the past 12 months but my hair continues to thin.
It seems the big 3:
Propecia
Rogaine
Nizoral
are the best options to fight my hair loss. Could the members confirm I'm better to use these products?

Welcome to the forum dude, You are certainly thinking along the right lines, personally though I'd use regenepure shampoo instead of nizoral (just my preference) and finasteride is cheaper than propecia so could save you some money pal (finasteride and propecia are the same just different mg )
If you go the finasteride way as apposed to propecia then you will have to cut a 5mg tablet into five pieces to make it the same as the 1mg that propecia comes as. I personally cut mine into four as its easier then miss a day after the fourth.
Hope that helps.

Propecia/Finasteride are the proven medications that work for hair loss. Finasteride is a lot cheaper than Propecia. Rogaine foam is kinder to the scalp and easier to apply than minoxidil liquid IMO. Nizoral is optional, when I used it, it was to combed dandruff that was caused by minoxidil liquid.
The foam you can se twice a day, it's easy to apply and will dry quickly.
Read up on possible side effects before going ahead.
Good luck, hope you're a good responder if you begin to use them.

You can buy Finasteride and foam from the Hle shop by clicking the banner at top left of forum page. Ask your doctor about Finasteride, you may be able to get a prescription for it. Nizoral is stocked by most high street pharmacies.

I'll use the shop as I don't want to ask my doctor.
Is there a specific way to cut the pills?

I used a sharp knife to cut them, you can purchase pill cutters from eBay which are very cheap. Only cut one pill at a time, use it up over 4-5 days, then cut the next one.
