Dark circles under my eyes because of Finasteride.

uSmanali6323Jan 8, 2018
I’m taking finasteride n minoxidil from 2 months but from the last few days noticing dark circles under my eyes, or it always looks like I haven't slept, regardless how long I do sleep. And started to feel sleepy during all the day even after my normal sleep time. Has anyone else had these issues?

It takes at least 6 months to see any value from finasteride and a year to see 80% of the results from the drug which you must stay on to keep what you get from it

The drug finasteride stays in your body for up to a week in the hair follicles and dutasterde certainly longer than that. I don't understand; however, why you would not just take the pills with you and keep to a schedule.  Be responsible about your hair loss to yourself.
