I'm applying 5% minoxidil on my face for beard grow. Is that ok to shave during this process? The product will be less effective or less absorved due to shaving?? Or I will lose the hair that came out with minoxidil?

Follow up with your doctor. Topical minoxidil is for treating hair loss. It does not cause hair loss. Some have reported initial shedding in the first month.
Which facility is banning the use of Propecia? You can't ask your manager because you'll be targeted?This does not make sense. Propecia is not a banned substance. It can show up in drug tests if someone is looking for it. If they really ban Propecia wouldn't you be guilty...
Some patients do shed when they start finasteride, however that hair generally does come back in time. I would recommend following up with your doctor if concerned.
