As per your query you have hair fall problem and advised Finastride and Minoxidil and you want to now whether stopping Minoxidil cause more hair fall? Now as per your query it appears as you have male pattern baldness . It is a common phenomenon in all males to have hair fall and a pattern of hair loss because of the hormonal influence. This also depends on the genetical factors form your parent s side. As it is hormonal problem and we cannot control the hormones -so the problem continues through out our life. Finastride and Minoxidil are two main medicines which are used successfully in improving the condition in unmarried males. Your doctor is on right track to sole your problem. But this is applied in different strengths and then slowly tapered off to reduce any withdrawal effect if any. Rather than hearing from one another it is better if you can talk to your doctor and put your queries in front of him so that you can be guided better. Other than that you can improve your diet at the best. Eat at least 3-4 fruits per day. Every fruit is good but you can make a combination of sour with sweet fruits such as oranges, papaya and other of seasonal fruits. Pulses are good source of proteins. So everyday have a bowel full of mixed pulses. Add green leafy vegetables additionally in the pulses which contains lot of iron and vitamins in it. Sprouts are the best source of fibers, minerals vitamins and proteins too. so add it at-least alternate day if you can not make in everyday s part of meal. Hope this information helps you.
