      A user shared a 15-year experience using minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss, stating that despite never missing a dose, their hairline continued to recede slowly. Other users suggested that the hair loss might be exacerbated by the use of steroids and recommended considering other treatments like dutasteride and RU58841.

      RU58841 combined with finasteride or dutasteride is more effective than RU58841 alone for hair loss. Users suggest combining these with minoxidil and microneedling for better results.

      The conclusion of the conversation is that the user, General-Switch-5722, has been using finasteride and minoxidil for over 2 years but is still experiencing hair loss. They are considering adding a low dose of RU58841 or topical dutasteride as potential treatments. Other users in the conversation have suggested switching to dutasteride or using oral minoxidil.
