Topical Finastride for baldness

2021-10-11 12:30:34
I am suffering from male pattern baldness. Doctor suggested me to take extend forte and minoxidil. He didn't suggest the oral finastride because I am planning for a baby. I just wanted to check if it is safe to use topical Finastride? Does it have side effects same as oral finastride? Or is it safe to use while we are planning for a baby?

Topical finasteride has minimal absorption and can be used. But its always preferable to avoid since u r planning.
