Hello Harinath Reddy ! There is no problem in using Minoxidil 5%. It will ensure that hair fall is arrested. But as you rightly said there is a possibilty of recurrence of hair fall within 6 months once you stop it. However along with minoxidil if you are treated with peptide serums, situation won't be so bad. Regarding finasteride eventhough it helps a lot in arresting hair fall, it is known to have few sexual performance related side effects which are reversible once you stop the drug. You are a better person to decide whether to continue or stop finasteride.
