Finesteride is us fda approved medicine for male pattern baldness so it's pretty safe & effective for this indication.

So continue finesteride under watch of your dermatologist.
There won't be incresead hair loss after finesteride but with time slowly ...more

yes u can. but under medical supervision only.
Hair fall has various reasons. we need to find out the reason and treat it. For that u need a completely supervised medical approach
Minoxidil will help control fall locally as long as it is applied. In the mean time we will need to treat or manage the cause of hairfall so that we can latr gradually taper off Minoxidil

Finasterride in the dose prescribed for MPB does tha even many side effects and it also FDA approved for the same. There are many studies where pts are using finasteride for Long time without any side effects. Although in very few pt it can cause reduction of libido but that in very few only.

There is not...more

You are absolutely right about the side effects but clinically we never see these so frequently. These are reports based on trials even if a single person has experienced that it is reported. Don't be scared it is very commonly prescribed drug.
