It’s understandable to be concerned about potential side effects.
Finasteride at low doses (0.1%) is less likely to cause hormonal or sexual side effects, but some individuals may still experience them.
Next Steps
If you notice any side effects, consult your doctor to adjust the dosage or consider alternative treatments
Minoxidil is generally safe topically, but keep the scalp clean and avoid irritation
Regular follow-ups will help monitor progress and side effects
Health Tips
Most side effects, if they occur, are reversible upon discontinuation. Always communicate openly with your healthcare provider.
