Just being honest, I don’t expect I’d be able to keep up with topical regime. I started fin about a month ago and thinking about whether it’s worth starting Min. Looks like it would cost less than $6/month for 2.5mg/day tablets, which is reasonable.
About a NW2 at the moment, mostly trying to avoid progression to NW3 and beyond. No impact to crown yet.
Adding oral min to your regime could be a cost-effective way to help maintain or improve your hair since you’re on fin. Just be aware of the potential side effects, even though they’re uncommon at low doses. The combo is popular because fin lowers DHT while min boosts blood flow to the follicles.
