Is minoxidil (5%) & finasteride (0.1%) topical solution safe for long term usage? Because I've heard that it increases the resting heart rate in the long term? What are the possible side effects of the same?

Hair loss maybe due to various conditions such as genetic , nutritional deficiencies or environmental factors etc . We need to analyse and find the cause . You can start with topical applications but only after proper examination and we need to monitor the hair growth every few weeks . You can visit us at the clinic or do an online consultation for the same.
