Any suggestions on Amexidil (Minoxidil 5% + Aminexil1.5%) Vs Bioexidil(Capixyl)?

beatingbaldnessJul 1, 2015
I am 22 years old and have been experiencing Hair loss since when I was 18 . I used Mintop (Minoxidil) for 3 years and then a combination of Amexidil (Minoxidil 5% + Aminexil1.5%) and Renocia lotion for a year .I think my hairfall stabilised and became gradual. Recently a new doctor prescribed me Bioexidil(Capixyl) and Finasteride(tablet) . I have been using this new combination for over a month . I am experiencing rapid hair loss , which I think is due to the new medicine. What should I do?

Hair loss can be devastating at a young age.  Before you can consider a treatment plan, you need an exam by a doctor.  In other words, you need a diagnosis before exploring treatment options.
