Hello Dr, I have used propecia in the past with a loss of libido and erection problems.So for the past year i have been using Revivogen. Revivogen has stopped further hairloss for me but has not given me any regrowth. So four months ago i decided to use rogaine, But rogaine gave me bad water retention and facial swelling so i stopped using it one week ago. I am planning to go and see my doctor tomorrow to get a prescription for propecia again. I plan to use 0.25 daily. I have heard that using this low dose has a low side effect rate. Do you think that adding propecia to my regimen of revivogen will give me some good regrowth? I have a feeling that these two products will work very well together.Thanks
Your guess is as good as mine with regard to Revivogen and Propecia (finasteride 1mg) when used together. I’ve written about Revivogen in the past (see Revivogen vs Propecia).
There are reports that 0.25mg of finasteride has only about 25% the effects of 1mg, but it still has some benefit… and your chances of side effects are likely less.

Hi there!
I’ve been suffering from side effects from propecia. However, after 4 1/2 months it worked very well for me. I had some bloodwork done and my estrogene lvl was HIGH above range (2x the maximum). Is it possible that not the reduction of dht, but the raise of estrogens (which we all know that can be caused by propecia and which may lead to effects like gynecomastia) and not the reduction of dht is beneficial for the hair? And do you think i could have success with a lower dose finasteride together with a hormonal balance supplement like “DIM” to reduce side effects? Or is it to dangerous for a guy like me (i’m 19, you saw that i reacted quite sensitively to hormonal drugs). thanks
