Question

Asked for Male, 23 Years

I consulted a doctor regarding my hair thinning and hair fall issue. He diagnosed me with male pattern baldness stage 2. He has given me some medications and tests to go for. He has prescribed me Finabald 1mg. But after knowing the sideffects of Finasteride, I'm little hesitant to go for it. Is there any other possible substitute such as minoxidil or anything else which can be taken instead? Or Finasteride despite of possible sideffects highlighted every where on internet, is safe to be consumed?
