Does Viviscal really work for women going through hair loss/thinning?

June 22, 2016
Asked By:Stacy02 in Redding, CA

I am going through a cycle of Telogen effluvium. It's been a whole year now, no improvement. Although there is some regrowth, it usually sheds. Would viviscal help with TE? Does viviscal cause any shedding or have anything that might cause any hormonal change?

When is the best time of day to take proscar? How much time apart should I take it with 5% minoxidil?
William Woessner, MD says:

Finasteride should be taken 1st thing in the morning. It does not matter if you take it along with minoxidil or separated by hours. The more important thing is to take them both everyday. And minoxidil twice per day on the scalp itself.
