A member asked:
F 36. all over hair thinning. does formula 82 have to be used everyday? what are the side effects and warnings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful : Formula 82 (popular combination of topical minoxidil, oral finasteride) may work but only in a small minority. If no cosmetic improvement in 2-3 months, fugetaboutit - you’re wasting your money. No real alternatives
