community Dermatologist didn’t want to write for Dutasteride and oral minox, instead gave me script for this 12.5% minox with tretinoin,azelaic acid, and topical finasteride. It’s 55$ a month, is it worth it?
The conversation discusses a prescribed hair loss treatment combining 12.5% minoxidil with tretinoin, azelaic acid, and topical finasteride, costing $55 a month. One user criticizes the packaging for degrading tretinoin, another suggests it's an overpriced option and recommends topical dutasteride as an alternative due to its higher molecular weight and lower systemic absorption.
