Asked By:Thriving996285 in London, ON

Hello so i tried 0.5ml of topical finasteride 0.05% solution with 5% minoxidil and after one use i got some bad side effects. These side effects have not got 100% better after 3 weeks however i have seen some improvements. My question is what would i do now to stop the progression of my hair loss? Should i go back on finasteride and give it another go? I have also been researching about Topical Dutasteride which apparently doesn’t go systematic, would this be a better option?
