11 years ago I was diagnosed with AGA (26 yrs old). Tried finsterid but had awful side ef, so I stop. Loss has been focused on temples. 1.5years ago started minoxidil topical & oral (first 2mg, now 4mg) which worked OK. To boost response doctor prescribed to keep oral and change to minox + Dutasteride topical.
