The user experienced side effects from finasteride and is considering adding Alfatradiol or Fluridil to their regimen, which includes Minoxidil, dermarolling, and ketoconazole.

Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
