A member asked:
Oral finasteride does have side effects. if given option to treat my receding hairline, i would go with local application of minoxidil only. however, there are topical combinations which contain finasteride as well. would that have side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Local application has minimal absorption and thus practically no side-effects
