Minoxidil; Frequent Questions and Answers-1

Q 22.
How Many People Respond Well to Hair Regrowth Medicine?

In how many people is hair regrowth medicine effective?

A 22.

There is an individual difference in the response to medicine. The rate of people in whom hair thickness increases by finasteride and minoxidil seems to be about 40% each in the author’s opinion.

If someone has positive response to both of oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, he will be able to enjoy a great increase in hair density.
As the mechanisms of action are different between the two drugs, synergistic effects can be expected by the combined usage of them.
