I am currently using avodart, but i was wondering is this currently the best medication i can be on, labeled for mpb or otherwise
I would love to be able to say that one medication is the best medication for genetic hair loss. For men, Propecia and Minoxidil are the only two FDA approved medications that are shwon to be safe and effective. Avodart is shown to be safe and effective for prostate problems, but what about the young man with a stronger Type I and Type II DHT blocker? We do not know.
All of the other products on the market are not FDA approved. Some may mention that they contain “active ingredients that are FDA approved” and these usually contain minoxidil, yet many claim that they are effective DHT blockers and either get confused between the way minoxidil works or they are downright misrepresenting the ingredients.
