Finasteride typically has worse side effects than Minoxidil. Minoxidil is more challenging to remain compliant with due to frequency of use and constantly applying to the hair. They both work well and work better when used together.
I believe that minoxidil is often prescribed for CTE because there is little that can be done and minoxidil does often grown some additional hair, albeit small hairs most of the time
