Up to what age is it worthwhile using Xandrox® solutions for MPB?
A. There’s no simple answer. Whereas treatment is almost always more effective when the signs and symptoms of MPB are recent, we have patients in their 70’s who have had satisfactory results from combined treatment of topical minoxidil and a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. In fact, hair regrowth was initially observed in older men in their 50’s or 60’s who were being treated with finasteride for enlarged prostates. That discovery was the impetus for developing Propecia®.
