Are there other advantages to using 5% Xandrox solutions as compared to Rogaine Extra Strength and finasteride?
A. Sure. There are many advantages. (1) Cost: a one month supply of 5% Xandrox costs considerably less than a one month supply of Rogaine Extra Strength plus a one month supply of finasteride. (2) Convenience: instead of applying minoxidil twice/day topically and taking finasteride orally, 1 mL of Xandrox is applied topically twice/day. (3) Side effects: finasteride can cause sexual dysfunction in a small percentage of patients. 5% Xandrox solutions have no side effects. (4) Safety: the long-term effects of finasteride are not yet known. Minoxidil has been in use for decades and azelaic acid has been ingested as long as mankind has been eating whole grains. It has even been proven safe used systemically and intravenously.blue_top.
