Will stopping finasteride 1mg intake just after 2 days lead to more hairfall than normal?

Question

i was prescribed with finasteride 1mg but after taking it for 2 days,i have found the bad side effects of it from the internet which i wasn't made aware of. my question is if i stop taking finasteride after taking it,will it accelerate hair loss at a rate greater than the rate it would have been if i hadn't ever taken finasteride ?

No, this is unlikely to increase your hairfall. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Stopping finastride will not accelerate your hair loss.  However you will loose the protective benefits of finastride, and you will resume your normal pattern of hair loss.

No, taking finasteride and then stopping it after 2 days will not negatively impact your hair situation
