If Xandrox is at least slowing down your hair loss and improving your overall hair quality, then it's probably working for you... Frankly, that sounds like very unusual advice.

Know that even though some men are using Avodart for male pattern baldness, it’s not yet FDA approved for hair loss. Be sure to...
