A member asked:
Im a 33 year old guy. ive been on 1mg finasteride for hair loss for 6 years. i just got side effects. if i stop the drug will i lose all my hair?

Hair loss: You shouldn't lose all your hair, but will gradually return to the male pattern form of hair loss you experienced before finasteride. Your side effects should resolve after stopping it. You could try using minoxidil spray for the crown of your scalp. Discuss this with your MD or dermatologist.
