42f between oral minoxidil, propeica and spironolactone which is best for for a short anagen stage and overall thinning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Since you are a female,I suggest you consider combination of propecia and spironolactone as long as you checked with your family doc about any contraindications as both of these meds have some side effects as well as interactions with other meds
