minoxidil or finasteride

Hello, I'm looking for information on slowing hair loss in it's early stages. Is it possible to stop it all together? I think this would be true for Minoxidil (Rogaine) because in some cases, it actually causes new hair to grow, but what about finastride aka Propecia? Wouls like to know which drug is more effective.

Re: minoxidil or finasteride

As you know that the hair loss is a genetic problem, you are genetically predetermined to have hair loss. But the biochemical reason for hair loss is DHT which is a by product of male hormone testosterone. The mechanism of action for finasteride is very well understood it acts as a inhibiotor of DHT and is taken orally. While minnoxidil is applied as topical solution and acts by effecting the permeability of epidermal tissue of hair follicle. The best treatment in early stages to stabilize the hair loss is to use both the drugs in combination therapy, they have a synergestic action. Idea [I]
