Does an avodart/propecia shed mean one in the donor area as well?

Asked By:ryuzaki21 in Ponnur, Andhra Pradesh, India

I have been on generic finasteride for 3 years. Switched to an every day dose in January and have noticed an increase in shedding since. Including my hair in the donor area. Is this normal?
