I am 20-years old I want to use Finasteride but afraid of side effects. I'm suffering from hair loss for 2 years.I saw 3 dermatologists before they all suggested me Minoxil. I asked them about finasteride they said it is not safe and they only prescribe Minoxidil to their patients with genetic hair loss. I have been using Minox for 3 months and happy with the results so far. But I know Minox is not blocking DHT and hair loss will come back soon or later. What should I do about Finasteride? Side effects are really scaring me. I am waiting for your recommendations. Regards.
