Except Finasteride, what else can I do?
I faced very severe psychological problems with Finasteride, what are other options? Is oral minoxidil better than topical application?

Hello. Will need a proper history of your condition and the previous treatment to comment further. Oral minoxidil might be of help in some ppl when topical has failed. Finasteride and minoxidil work by different mechanisms so they work well together. But there are other medications as well to manage male pattern hair loss
