I am 46 and have been using hair growth products, i.e, proscar, nizoral, spriolactone, etc. I also use a product called Proxiphern made by a Dr. Proctor in Texas. It has stopped my loss even when on 1500mg per week. buy the 5mg proscar and quarter them it is much cheaper. Get the generic brand from india they work the same. I have had my psa checked several times and it is low so I know the proscar is gtg. I take 1.25 mg per day, use Nizoral or Nano shampoo daily and use dr. proctor's product every other day. As I said no bald spot at vertex just a little recession but that is probably due to my age as well.
