My friend 33yrs, prescribed finasteride 2.5 mg , rogaine (minoxidil) 5% for androgenetic alopecia. she has completed family. shes leen afterit.can she take it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Stop pill if pregnant. Usual dose finasteride in US is 1mg. We get a 5mg pill and cut it into 4 pieces. 2% minoxidil is much less expensive and is almost as effective.
