Greetings. I am not sure if you have understood the Patho physiology of hair fall in men or Andro genetic alopecia. Also you need to understand the mechanism of action of finasteride. All I can say is that you must take it atleast for six months to see some improvement. For further queries, contact on follow up messaging. Warm regards
