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, Two days back I got laser treatment for my upper lip and chin hair growth. Doctor prescribed finasteride tablets for hormones imbalance with a note don't use if you are planning for pregnancy. I have one daughter two years old , and we use protection and not on any pills and cuT. So is it okay to continue the pills ( finasteride) or I should ask for some other medicine, because I read some serious side effects especially for who may become pregnant. Thank you
