A member asked:
I have been using a combination of minoxidil 5% and fanastride from last 6 month. i want to know is it safe to continue for long term.please give me your advice as a doctor?

Side effects: I am reluctant to approve the use of these medications in your age group because of the possibility of side effects on things like body hair, libido and sexual function after very long term use. Minoxidil is capable of lowering blood pressure. I don't know if any long term studies on this topic are available.l srongly urge that you carefully discuss the long-term use of these meds with your MD
