Hello dear. Your apprehension is understandable. But please know that the side effect you must have read on the internet is rare. If you still wish to stop propecia, then it's your choice. Alternative treatments include PRP treatment and hair transplant

Please understand that androgenetic alopecia is a progressive condition. Propecia will halt it till the time you take the medicine. If you are not willing to take it, you better prefer hair transplant.
