A member asked:
What percent of patients experience hair loss while on a low dose, 10-20 mg of isoretonin every other day. does propecia (finasteride) help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not high but poss: It is not extremely common but does happen in some people. In my opinion, adding another medication to stop side effect of a topical medication is not best idea. Also Propecia (finasteride) works differently and may not be entirely effective if there is topical problem. Talk to prescribing doctor about it further.
