Answer: Finasteride and aldactone in female hair loss First, you should not take finasteride at age 27 as a female. Finasteride can cause birth defects. Stop this immediately. Aldactone or spironolactone can improve female hair loss. You should add minoxidil 1.25 mg per day orally and Wnt-act available at the amazon store. Wnt-act was shown effective in female loss by noted hair loss researcher, Antonella Tosti, from the University of Miami. Oral minoxidil is superior to topical minoxidil in women. Topical spironolactone might be superior to oral. As a female, you should test your hormone levels including a DHEA level to rule out other causes of hair loss. Sometimes a biopsy is good to confirm a diagnosis in women.

Answer: Finasteride and Aldactone Androgen blockade has the potential to be help female pattern hair loss. Caution is needed with any hormone blocker due to significant harm that can come to a developing baby were a woman to become pregnant on any hormone blocker. For this reason they are frequently used with various strict contraceptive methods. The combination of hormone blockers can work even better than one alone provided the patient actually has a truly androgen responsive hair loss condition. Most men do. But not all women do. The combination of androgen blocking pills has the potential to be associated with side effects such as depression, fatigue, breast tenderness, breast enlargement, weight gain, decreased libido.If one is not improving, one should reconsider either the diagnosis or treatment options.
