I’ve been taking oral minoxidil 2.5mg since September 2024, and I added oral finasteride in March 2025. Despite this, my hair continues to thin progressively, and I haven’t noticed any improvement. Before that, I was using topical minoxidil since 2021, and in around 2022 I added topical finasteride to the regimen. I started balding at 15, so at the time, minoxidil was the only option I could use.
I am around norwood 2-2.5 now, so the meds definitely helped in maintaining, but I am still 21 and losing ground.
Now I’m thinking of adding RU58841 or dutasteride to my regimen to see if it makes a difference. Has anyone had experience with RU58841 or any advice to share?
