Suffering From Mild Hair Loss. Taking Finpecia. Suggested Biotin. Is It Recommended?

Hello Sir/Ma'am,
I'm suffering from mild hairloss for 2years-which is AGA. I'm taking finpecia and biotin for this and it has been stabilized without any side effect. However the biotin supplement is costly for 10 mg per day. I found a cheap and better biotin (+nettle extract+saw palmetto+Vit-B5+Inositol+Zinc+Cupper+L-lysine+PABA) supplement,named 'Avitin 7' by Unimarck. I wish to buy this from a online store which want rs. 300 for 30 tabs and another one online store want rs. 100 for 30 tabs. Will you please tell me what is the actual price of this tablet (10/ or 3.33/ per piece)? Also do you think that this is better than just biotin supplement? Thanks

hi yes i think it is better than normal biotin.because zinc and inositol increases immunity and increases hair growth and sapametto increases the hair growth but how far they are useful in AGA is not known because only minoxidil and finapecia are FDA APPROVED FOR AGA.AS FAR AS I THINK BIOTIN 10 MG IS CHEPER THAN THIS COMBINATION DRUG
