Just wondering who has used rogain with success on cycle. I’m 29 year’s old and never cycle that hard. Usually 2 cycles a year consisting of no more then 1 gram a week total anabolics. My hair has thinned some over the years which could just be my natural genetics. I really want to avoid getting any thinner and thinking of firing up a little winter blast of 500 test per week and 60mg Anavar a day. Anyone use any hair lose prevention products with success ?I know about finasteride obviously but the longer term potential sides from that drug kind of scare me.
Nizoral, Rogain for hair loss

Isn’t Nizoral a dandruff shampoo?
Rogaine (minoxidil) stimulates new hair growth, but doesn't prevent loss. Once you stop using it you will lose whatever new hair you gained.
I use nizoral once or twice a week, but actually seem to shed more hairs after those showers.
I've also tried RU58841 without much success. I finally decided I'm more afraid of baldness than fin sides, and jumped on 1mg daily a few wks ago.
For loss prevention the gold standard is finasteride, as @Goldenrod mentioned. It's the only drug approved to treat MPB.

Yes but it’d main ingredient, ketoconazole, has about the same success as minoxidil in hair loss studies. There are a few other, more exotic shampoos with the ketoconazole but I never tried them. I use nizoral like I use any other shampoo but I leave I’m in my hair for 5 minutes before rinsing out.
I wish minoxidil worked for me - there a product at minoxidilmax.com that has 15% vs the standard 5 mixed with topical finasteride and other hair loss treatments.if the testimonials are true it works for some and that’s a bug if.
Finasteride works - dutasteride works even more so. I agree the sides if finasteride does that to you would be awful but I never noticed it yet other than it stopped my hair loss.
I’m late 40’s and still have a good head of hair but I don’t take harsh steroids and never have and I don’t take high doses and again never have.
If you want to take a lot of steroids - most likely your going to shave your head or get a hair transplant.
Some people mix RU and topical finasteride with good success but I think all depends on the person and the luck of their genetics.
I think most people get a finasteride prescription and mix up their own topical solution, I've seen several online tutorials.
For what it's worth, a very common sentiment I see on the hairloss forums is: "i really regret not starting fin sooner"
