no idea the drug, if anyone need the specialist i can help to ask from my boss, just pm me
if i tell u the drug, u anyhow eat and become caveman how? :s13:

infact i worked for this boss 2yrs + yrs liao, i have notice his hair getting from bad to worst but i never tell him anything. i am a careful guy not to piss pple off moreover he is my boss, also not my business right? heeh
only till recently we talk about hair and he mentioned he did see a specialist and was given oral supplement for his hair loss

as for my friend, he suffered 'pitholes' on his scalp. not too sure about the scientific term. but the hair just refuse to growth and he also see his doc to get direct injection on his scalp - is few yrs back and this confirm not cheap, causing him a few grand. now he complain his hair is too thick :s13:

how i wish to hear from your boss's doctor. sadly, exculding consultation your towkay spending on a month for treatment is more then what i spend per year:o but guess you have a pretty cool towkay.

yap. what your friend suffering from sound very much like alopecia aretata which is different kind of hairloss from your most people and your towkay. gald he is able to complain of too much hair now:D

Due to my working hours, I am unable to apply minox twice daily leh... Is it okay to apply once a day?

yes. you can apply once per day. but in no way it is going to be as effective as twice per day. don't ask me by how much as there is no study comparing the 2case.

but i guess once per day should be more or less be like 2% VS 5% result. don't quote me. just an educational guess.

I just got my 1month supply of propecia from NSC. It cost me $88.50 for 28tablets/4weeks. It's kinda costly consider the usage is long term and it can cost up to 1k+ yearly.

I have read about proscar being a cheaper alternative but I do not know where can I purchase it and the trustworthy brand. Anyone can help me with this ? For some reason, NCS dont recommand nor prescribe proscar.

in singapore, you can look for your GP and explain the situation to him and how you are going to use proscar. most GP will be willing to write a prescription for you. with the prescription, you can purchase it from most pharmacy. otherwise, you can drop by JB and buy from there.

proscar is the brand. i think you misunderstood proscar as a drug name. the drug name is finasteride and the brand is proscar.

you do understand propecia and proscar is basically the same drug just different in dosage right? most patient get the higher dosage proscar and cut it up to 4-5pieces to save cost.

how long it takes before we see any effect from the finesteride?
fin work the from the 1st dosage. but hair grow at the very slow rate therefore you have to be patient. give yourself 6-12months to judge. take picture of your progress.

i have always try to point out as long as you find there is no further progress in hairloss, fin is working for you. alot of people is expecting good regrow. it happen for some but for most, stopping further hairloss is much more realistic goal.

i think it fine to share here. is not like i own the pharmacy:D

i get my supply of medication from "My Pharmacy". they offer a 10% discount for member. just sign up free on the spot. it located at Jalan Wong Ah Fook. should be easy to spot as there is only 1 pharmacy around there. just walk around that area and you should be able to find. it along the road opposite an India temple. along the street you can find alot of those funny shops:s13:

Yep, i do understand the difference between propecia and proscar. My concern is where can I purchase reliable proscar? I do not have any prescription as NCS dont recommand proscar, they are selling 28 propecia tablets at $88.50, which is very expensive, considered I'm still a student.

Anyone know of any reliable website where I can get proscar without prescription or propecia at a lower price than what NCS offered ? Thanks!

Well apparently i realised that if you use Minoxidil you need to use it for long term and not stop. So apparently i cant afford to keep up with such hefty cost of minoxidil. So i searched for other methods.

So far i am taking supplements(Shou Wu) and using the Rene Fueterer treatment and cut my hair short. Apparently there is a sligth improvement. Well besides i went to NSC cos i was paranoid that i was losing hair. Call me vain i guess.

So right now, i am wondering if there are anyone who is using this, i am willing to sell it cheap since i have got no use for it.

let me know whoever is keen. Can contact me via email: fade1987@gmail.com or call me at 97585566.

singapore actress spotted?

I got 2 and a half box of propecia, bought recently. Realised i am not supposed to be on this, as it is not allowed for my sports.

Selling at around 150 for 2 and a half box. Bought from local gp and unopened for the 2 box.

I bought nioxin shampoo recently.

After using for a while, it causes itchness and severe flaking on my scalp. I wonder what has happened? Anybody encounter this b4?

Been about 1 month 3 weeks since I have been using Minoxidil 5%...

Seriously... My hair loss is worst than before...

Now, front and crown are thinning like mad so much so that I think I would be better off if I hadn't start Minox at all...

Should I just carry on this treatment or torment?


My hair got worst after I started minox for 1 yr, even I had stopped, my hair didn't grow back to the original state b4 I stated minox. To me, minox is rubbish

can u help me ask ur friend, what kind of drugs did his doctor inject into this scalp?

I suspect is minox + vitamins and if this is so, I think ur friend needs to go for more than 1 treatment
