Hi my Dr. prescribed finasteride 1 mg and minoxidil for my hair loss I have used it for a 9 months. Now I asked my Dr. If I can stop minoxidil because it is expensive. But as of late my hair is dropping off and I am starting to see my scalp. My Dr. Says it is natural because of the minoxidil and I would get back my hair because i'm on finasteride still. Is this true?
