I am a trichologist and I will be able to help you. Before recommending treatment I need to diagnose the type of hair fall you are having. I need some details. 1. How long you have been having hair loss ? 2. Approximately how many hairs fall per day ? 50-100 or more than 100 ? 3. Is there any particular pattern like your hair line is receding from the forehead and hair is thinned out over vertex and normal over back ? 4. Is there baldness in your family ? Father, mother or mother's brothers. 5. Did you have any significant illness like typhoid, malaria or any accident or mental stress around 3 to 4 months prior to the hair fall ? 6. Do you have any medical illnesses like anemia or hypothyroidism ? 7. What medicines are you taking for asthma ? 8. Do you have Dandruff ? You have a feature to upload photograph of your scalp (from top view) yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your query better.

Brief Answer: Finlon side effects Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome back, Receding hairline and thinning of hair from the front is consistent with male pattern baldness or Androgenetic alopecia. There are US FDA approved treatments for it like topical minoxidil 5 % solution 1ml twice a day and Finasteride 1mg tablets. Finlon is finasteride. Yes, there are side effects for finasteride which includes loss of libido, impotence, decreased ejaculatory volume, low mood,depression, gynecomastia etc. However these are rare side effects. Out of 100 patients who take it, around 3 to 4 patients get it. Even if you get these side effects once you stop the medicines, everything will become reversed to normal state except gynecomastia. In my experience this tablet along with minoxidil 5 % solution 1 ml twice a day gives very good results and definitely worth trying. One thing you should realize is this hair loss is in your genes. Whatever treatment you will be on will halt the process. Once treatment is stopped genes will take over. So we need to maintain the treatment on a long term. I usually stop finasteride and maintain my patients on minoxidil once very good improvement is seen. Hope this helped,If you have any clarifications I will be happy to help. Take care.
