I have hair fall problem since 7 years and I consulted doctor in january 2020, doctor told me to use more f 5%(minoxidil & finasteride topical solution) 2 times per day. But now I have digestion problem i.e. Ibs (irritable bowel syndrome) and because of this disease I didn't consult dermatologist again. But i'm using more f 5% topical solution since 2 years because whenever I stop applying this medicine, the hair starts falling again. Sir, I want to ask you following questions:- 1> can I use more f 5% (minoxidil & finasteride solution)' lifetime? 2> are there any side effects of more f 5% solution?3> has this medicine (morr f 5%) caused me digestive problems i.e. Ibs (irritable bowel syndrome? 4> should I continue use this medicine?

This topical application does not cause digestion problems. Check with your Dr. if you can use finastride orally and continue with 5 % minoxidil. See a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who will assess the problem and then prescribe. Its in your interest not to go for an online prescribed medication. Its difficult ,rather impossible to give a prescription online without seeing a patient

U can use morr f for lifetime. Infact, you have to. It won't cause side effects. Only thing - use plain minoxidil when planning for a child - restart morr f when wife is pregnant. And morr f is not cause of your irritable bowel syndrome.
