Hair fall from stopping minoxidil

2017-09-04 07:45:55
I was prescribed minoxidil 5% and finasteride 5 mg for a problem I didn't have. I took it for 2 months and shed a lot of hair. I stopped the medication and now I'm experiencing more hair fall. Can you please suggest a way to stop the hair fall?
