I love how the show is always in one clean take. It comes across as genuine. Thanks to your show I decided to get over my fear of Finasteride and save my hair.

[etilhcir]

You guys clear everything up, there has been so much confusion about treatments and now its all crystal clear and precisely explained.

[NightOwl]

Please do a section on the role of DHT in the body in the next QnA. It's very important. Thank you for these video's btw they're very helpful.

Just can't express in words, I have been cleared of all misconceptions and will now be starting medication after 4-5 months, as I don't wanna experiment before my Entrance Exams are over. The level of anxiety has really gone down due to these videos, love you both!

Love this channel! For a young balding guy, this information is well needed. How I wish this channel, with all the information, would have been available 3-4 years ago when my hairloss began. Spent 1 year in denial and 2 years in fear from finasteride and minoxidil due to not being well enough informed and few people online giving it a bad name.

First of all, thank you so much for your educational videos, they have been very helpful.
Watching most of your videos about Minoxidil and Finasteride, I have a very simple straight question.
Taking an example of a male with male pattern hair loss and hair thinning, most likely due to the DHT imbalance, which of the following options or combination of options will give the best results. Best result would be healthy thick existing hair with some new hair growth if possible on the head. Keeping is view that the main objective is to have hair on the head. Disregarding how fast or slow it works.
1- Topical Minoxidil only.
2. Topical Minoxidil with thrice a week 1mg Finasteride.
3. Compounded Finasteride and Minoxidil.
I know Finasteride has very low risk of any side effects, but I am happy the way I am and feel otherwise, except for the hair thinning on the top of my head. If it does not have a significant difference in the result, I don't feel comfortable to play with my entire body's chemistry to have hair on my head and would prefer to just apply Minoxidil topically forever. How would that work for my hair on the head?
Thank you and stay safe.

Doc, although you mentioned Dutasteride in your question. Can you make a Q + A on Dutasteride only? I would like to know more about it

[HonestToast]

And also you've yet to do a video covering saw palmetto extract, as it's listed on wikipedia as a 5α-Reductase inhibitor

[Joshluckhurst]

I have started documenting my progress on my channel.

Doing a 3 x 1mg fin a week and minox everyday.

Let's see where we get.

Thanks for these videos, very helpful.

[davidomeara]

Love these guys. Straight forward no nonsense advice.

[Taptapfail]

Can someone please explain finasteride build up mechanism/theory in our body. I dont understand that if we lower DHT up to 70% but get sides for example after 6 months even though our DHT is after few days already reduced about 70% (if we take 1mg).

[johndupont]

Evidence on topical finasteride vs oral finasteride?

[الغاز_اسلامية]

Does taking zinc while on Finasteride lower the risk of side effects related to estrogen like Gyno and if I took it with Fin, will it lower the efficiancy of Fin and wont give the Fin the best results?!

[DaenThunderKnight]

I see it always been mentioned just as a sidenote in most videos but tends to be one -i not the first- of reasons for people stopping treatment so, Can you talk a little more about the shedding phase for using just minoxil, just finasteride and (especially for me) BOTH, PLEASE? :D
Amazing job!.

[animeshkumar]

Sir please start a clinic in India .most of doctors in India are just hungry for money and there are so many clinics and we get confused. We are even scared to visit any clinic because they do not tell us the truth like you advice us and they just want to earn money. I have many friends who want to get advice or counseling but they are so much confused and do not know. We will really support you and will spread your good knowledge and they way you are guiding us honestly .even the patients are ready to pay high price for surgery but still doctors in India play with their health and emotions.so we request you to open here too.please. and please if you have some clinic here or do you treat here then share your number or address so that we can contact you.please sir.save us from these devil and greedy doctors

[alexsmith]

Hey Doctor! There’s one topic I haven’t seen on your channel yet - supplementation, such as Nutrafol. Do you recommend anything in this area? And can we expect a video on it in the future? Would love to see the other doctor in a Zoom call with you too!

[syedhadi]

One important question:
If I stopped taking finasteride will my rate of hairloss will be same or it's rate will be higher

[thefoxysoldier]

I am very surprised to knoe that doctors do not use finasteride to maintain their hair. I am not convinced for the reasons given in part 1.
