Hello,

Thanks for writing here.

Hair loss in men is due to androgenic hormones.

Treatment consist of both minoxidil and finasteride.

Finasteride at 1 mg of dosage do not produce any side effects.Still you can go for blood tests such as testosterone level and liver function tests which will point out any side effects.

Minoxidil 10 and 5 both are effective.You can intially start with minoxidil 10 and then maintain on 5.

I hope this will solve your problem.Take care.
