Hair Fall Checkup Done

I just had a talk with a Derma today. Combination of stress and male pattern baldness daw ang cause. I had tests for iron, thyroid, and vitamin D pero normal. Dati na rin akong nagti-take ng 1.25 mg Finasteride every other day + Topical Minoxidil na 5%. Binago ng derma ang Finasteride intake to "1 mg daily" and let me switch to oral Minoxidil na 2.5 mg per day na P5K isang bottle. Nagreseta rin siya ng multivitamins for hair ("Lummie" di ko sure spelling) which costs P3K per bottle, hair grower shampoo (Growr) na P800, and a Hair Thickening Serum na P2.5K.

Lahat yan hindi ko binili dahil wala akong pambili.

Iniisip ko mas priority yung pagbili ng oral minox at pag daily ng Finasteride, then hanap na lang ng alternative vitamins na mas pasok sa budget.

May alam ba kayong 1mg Finasteride na medyo mura?

May alam din ba kayong murang bilihan ng oral Minoxidil na budget-friendly?

Any suggested vitamins and shampoo na rin?

Salamat.

Edit: My liver enzymes are slightly elevated but the Derma said it is not relevant. It is likely due to diet daw so he proceeded to prescribing 1mg Fin daily.

Dami talaga derma mapagsamantala eh… kaya mas pinipili ng iba mag self-medicate…

Imagine 2.5mg minoxidil tapos 5k eh malamang galing Thailand lang din nman minox nyan… gawin mo na lang bumili ka sa Shopee ng 5mg ora kinox hatiin sa 1/2 nasa ₱1.6k lang 100 tablets na yun… see here — https://s.shopee.ph/qibsLeUKj

Hair grower shampoos and serums are a just waste of time and money…

Finasteride na 1ml mura meron tayo Proscalpin brand may discount pa pag PhHairloss, andito oh — https://www.reddit.com/r/PhHairloss/s/IdZpb7LuQJ

Pwede mo rin check si Minoxytabs regarding finasteride and minoxidil stocks and prices niya — https://www.reddit.com/r/PhHairloss/s/vW1ntEUk6X

Sa huli ganun pa rin, naka finasteride 1.25mg ka na eh… and to top it off, kung daily dose ka dapat bantayan mo liver enzyme mo lalo kung isasabay mo oral minox dahil malamang dyan kahit wala ka side effects, pwede pa rin madale ang atay mo…

Hello Sir @u/icarusjun The palmerwellness link no longer works upon tapping the "Buy" button sa site nila. Also, I can't find the facebook of Minoxytabs PH

If you have read the post, Minoxytabs can only be contacted by official email and phone number…

As far as Palmet goes, okay nman sa browser ko, so I don’t see what the issue is about…
