Hairloss along with thinning of hair
Hi,
I am male 28 and currently under medication of hair loss. The local doctor here recommended me Keraboost tablet in the morning and Curlzfin tablet at night. Along with it he advised me to use Bioxidil hair serum at morning and Mintop 5% lotion at night.
Can I expect a reduce in hair fall and increase in hair growth with these medicines. Also am bit skeptical about Curlzfin tablet, since it's composition is of Finasteride. Can Finasteride capsules results in sexual problems like erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.
Thanks.

Greetings. The usage of finasteride depends on the cause of hair loss. It works only in male pattern baldness. Finasteride has a robust efficacy when taken daily for a period of atleast a year. If you and your dermatologist decide, that you should be on finasteride, then there are certain topics to be discussed and certain blood tests that has to be performed. You should be mentally prepared to take it for a period of atleast 6 months before declaring that finasteride did not work for you. Maximum benefits are seen at the end of one year. If you wish to discontinue finasteride, the beneficial effects of it will slowly reverse in a span of few months.
