26 years age i am using minoxidil5%, propecia, (finasteride) any side effect of it? and start loosing hair when i will stop using this madication?

Probably.: I've never seen side effects from these medications, although they have been reported (see package inserts). They are effective, but yes, if you stop using them your hair will return to where it was before you started.
