A member asked:
What are the blood tests required before starting 1 mg finasteride pill for hairloss that also should be done after being on this treatment for few months to control the side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By my knowledge, there is no required test for checking the side effect of finasteride if you do not have any symptom. Good luck and I hope your hair loss is under control with this medication.
