A. Yes. There are many advantages. (1) Cost: A one month supply of 5% Xandrox® costs considerably less than a one month supply of Rogaine®/Regaine Extra Strength® (or its generic version) 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 significant percentage of patients. 5% Xandrox® solutions have no such side effects. (4) Safety: The long-term effects of finasteride are not yet known. Minoxidil has been in use for many decades and azelaic acid has been ingested as long as mankind has been eating whole grains. Azelaic acid has even been proven safe when used systemically and intravenously.
