I am 30 years old single man suffering from hair loss, can i use finax tablets and minoxidil 5% and it will safe for me ? or please prescribe me best

Both work: But finax has nasty side effects for a 30 yo man - impotence, tender breasts, abnormal sexual function. Minoxidil 5% is a lot better tolerated!

Hair loss: Finax is a brand of Cefuroxime in some countries & a brand of Finasteride in others. Given that you're asking about it's use for hair loss, i suspect that you're asking about Finasteride which is used in states to either shrink prostate or reduce hair loss. Minoxidil is a blood pressure medication which is also used in states to increase hair growth. Both are "safe" but have known side effects.
