 		Hey tonyboy, do you have to mix propecia with Rogain , you think one will get the same results just mixing it with a noraml shampoo or some other liquid (like water) ?

thanx

 		Tony,

What brand of Proscar do you use and how many times a day do you apply it?

Thanks

 		BTW, Lipoxidil's finasteride lotion contains 37.5 mgs. You guys may want to add about 7 5mg Proscar tabs instead of 2 or 3. You might get better/faster results.

 		Side Show Bob:You may very well be right. Type 1 5alpha reductase is produced mainly in the scalp. proscar is a potent inhibitor of type 2 but a weak inhibitor of type 1. It does inhibit type 1 nevertheless, and putting more finesteride in the very spot where type 1 is produced, will make it a more competitive and effective type 1 inhibitor.
