Finasteride
A daily pill that lowers DHT, the hormone shrinking your follicles. It is the medication that holds the line. Men only. Best for a receding hairline or a thinning crown with a family history.
Minoxidil
A daily pill or scalp spray that pushes follicles to grow. It does not block DHT, so on its own the loss slowly continues underneath. Works for men and women. Best for adding thickness.
Both
Studies that compare the combination to either alone find the combination wins. That is our full program: finasteride, oral minoxidil and a ketoconazole shampoo for $249 a month.
Just One
Mild early loss and you want the simplest start: finasteride, $149. You cannot or would rather not take finasteride: oral minoxidil, $149, or the topical spray, $149. Women: the women's program with minoxidil and spironolactone, $149.
Common Questions
Can I take finasteride without minoxidil?+
Yes. It stops the loss; regrowth is slower than with the pair.
Can I take minoxidil without finasteride?+
Yes, and it is the only option for women and for men who skip finasteride.
Which has more side effects?+
Both are mild for most people. Finasteride: sexual side effects in a small minority. Minoxidil: lightheadedness or extra body hair in a small minority.
