In the 1980s, doctors and patients found out that the drug minoxidil does help grow—and regrow—hair. It just didn’t work predictably well for many of those who tried it. Ten years and countless trials later, some dermatologists think that a three-drug regimen may be more successful in battling baldness.
This less common regimen involves mixing Rogaine {minoxidil), now available over-the-counter, with Proscar (finasteride), originally a medication for prostate enlargement, and thyroid hormone.
the application method is similar to what is suggested on the packages of minoxidil: Rub it into the scalp every day. Of course, this combination treatment will cost more— but early results are promising.
note: Finasteride should be avoided by men contemplating fatherhood. (Women should also avoid it before and during pregnancy.)
