A member asked:
Im looking into hair loss prevention treatments and will be seeing a doctor however im just curious. is there a minoxidil/finasteride combination medication (pill form) that exists? not looking for recommendations, im just curious in general. ty?

Minoxidil works locally where it is needed. Oral form affects the entire body and can be detrimental -e.g. erection and breast enlargement- hence not given to young men in oral form
