A member asked:

How many months for full effect of minoxidil5%, finasteride 1mg cure of hair loss and regain new hair?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

2-3 months: Minoxidil and finesteride work very well together. However it usually takes a minimum of 2 months to notice a decrease of hair loss and 3 months before you see any growth. Many people only get minimum growth but see a stop of hair loss and thicker or fatter hair shafts.
