A lot of our patients who are debating to take finasteride (Propecia) vs. minoxidil (Rogaine) ask about the effectiveness of one treatment regimen vs. the other. These two medications have been compared regardless of their side effects or their ease of use. The result of this randomized study that was done in Turkey indicated both medications were effective, but oral finasteride 1 mg/day was significantly more effective than topical solution of minoxidil (5%) in the treatment of mild to severe AGA.
