Can I Stop Taking Finax For Hair Loss?

I am under treatment of hair loss for last 7 months. My hair loss was not very huge as reported. I was using 1 mg finax , hair 4U ( 1 ml one time daily ) , alpecin & BTN forte for last 5 months. on 12.02.14 . and it was noticed that good result have came out. With in 3 months I will marry with some one. So my doctor advice me to discontinue finax 1 mg , and use of Minox...5% instead on hair4u. But I am afraid about the fact that as per information gather from internet that discontinue of finax1mg can lost hair very rapidly. So please tell me weather discontinue of finax 1mg can accelerate hair loss. or continue of alpecin , btn forte & minox 5% can help me out.

hi there.
1. finax is finasteride, which will block male hormone acting on the hair follicle.
2. tapper finax tab like alternate day for 30 days, then once in 2 days for 30 days and weekly twice for last month and stop using it completely.
3. by tapering the medication, we can try to retain the thickened hair.
4. you can safely continue mintop, alpecin and btn forte supplements.
don't worry this will help you.
