Hello Mahesh.
Finasteride and Minoxidil are both FDA approved medicines for male pattern baldness. Your doctor perhaps forgot to tell you that both these medicines may increase the amount of shedding in some individuals at the beginning of therapy. Do not fret.
Please visit your doc again and sort it out with her. Most important, do not stop using the medicines on your own, with out consulting your doctor.
Best Regards.
