Can you help with sudden hair loss after almost three months of treatment?

Terrific137947
I'm a little bit concerned because this is the second hair loss treatment I'm trying (first, it was with Minoxidil 5%; now, Minoxidil 5% + topical Finasteride 0.5% in Finastopic). It's been almost three months since I started the second treatment and after one month and a half I started to see less shedding for a bit. Then, at the end of September, suddently, I started losing a lot of hair again. I had a septoplasty in October the 1st and I'm losing around +150 hair strands a day. Is it normal?
