I went to NSC for surgery, then during one of the follow ups, I requested to check my hair loss and was given the prescription without any referral. Think you can visit polyclinic to ask the doctor there to refer u to NSC.

Really depend on individuals, personally, I do not experience massive dropping of hairs after using. Maybe I only use during the night time before I go to bed instead of the recommended twice daily.

Hi, does anyone have a good DHT blocking shampoo to recommend? Thanks.
I am using the revita hair shampoo, someone recommended it over here. Decided to buy and try, find it not bad, but it is not cheap though. Or you can just get the alpecin caffeine hair shampoo, which i use for my daily normal washing, dun see alot of hair falling after using it.

what do you know by DHT blocking ingredients by the way? ketoconazole, biotin, saw palmetto are some of the DHT blocking ingredients...as I mentioned, alpecin is for my daily normal washing and I find it helps in reducing hair fall...As per the link below, they are not proven DHT blockers, unless u can find a shampoo containing finasteride...

Hi

Which generic brand of finasteride does NSC dispense? I've seen generics from Thailand (Firide) and India (Finapecia, Finax etc.) from online search so far. Anyone using generics or anyone have any recommendations?

Using NSC's generic brand Stercia, so much cheaper than Propecia. Got one time they supplying the indian one, should be finapecia, I found not so good, seemed like more hair loss after taking.

I checked and Stercia is made in Thailand. Seems like the Thai generics are better.....

Probably need to know a thai supplier from Thailand though.
Stercia is more expensive in Thailand than NSC. Went to a pharmacy counter to check price when I was in BKK precovid, can't remember price but definitely more ex cos I never buy back from there.

I recently came across this product Neofollics on Shopee. I searched online and read that they contain DHT blockers and the active ingredient is similar to Minoxidil but doesn't cause as much sides. Anyone has tried before?
