I think my Dr. believes that it will go directly to the hair folicle, reducing the DHT at the folicle level. From what I've read, to take it internally, the dose must be 2.5mg a day, that's 5 pills. To be 100% effective it's 5mg a day, or 10 pills.

So far, my hair has stopped shedding, I only see a few here and there. I've had my hormones adjusted, been on minoxidal for 5 months, and only the Avodart/5% Minox mixture a little over a month. Can't say it's the Avodart, that's why I submitted this wondering if anyone else has success with topical Avodart.
