I had a FUE hair transplant 5 months ago and the started using finesteride 1mg (1 daily) and monoxidil 5% (twice a day) after 2 months of my hair transplant. Its been almost 3 months and my hair are keep shedding every day and every time I apply minoxidil. Need to ask how long it is fine for shedding to keep happening and when can I expect it to stop? (For the context I had the finesteride+minoxdil treatment 4 years back and responded great to it before I discontinued it couple of years back)
