I am suffering from gair thinning and hair loss. I have used minoxidil 5% for approx 5 months and applied it once daily as my dermatologist prescribed me. Now I have found it's not working so I have stopped using it from last week. My my hair fall got increased now. What should I do in this situation? Should I continue using minoxidil 5 % or I switch to minoxidil and finasteride topical solution? Please clear my doubts before my head get cleared.

Hello lybrate-user Do not stop using minoxidil. I will have to see the type of balding after giving you further instructions. We may need to add something to minoxidil for your treatment. You may start a private consult for that. Take care.
