Will finasteride stop beard development

2017-04-13 11:04:40
Hello, I'm 19 yrs old and have started to loose my hair due to androgenic alopecia.. So my doctor put me on finpecia (cipla) to stop my hair loss and started procapil treatment(Mintop pro) too to save my hair line.. So I have been taking finasteride for around 4months and it has improved my hair a lot but my beard(partially developed) started to grow very slowly... So this panicked me.. Wondering I can't grow my beard which is gonna develope fully in my twenties... I think it's all because of finasteride... So my question is will i be able to grow a fully developed beard by thirties or will I end up the way my beard looks now because of using finasteride??...

Hi ! Thanks for your query. Finasteride may not have direct effect on the beard hair growth.
