community 3 months on min + fin and my hair is shedding way more than before
Hair shedding is common when using minoxidil and finasteride, often indicating that the treatment is working as weaker hairs fall out to make way for stronger growth. Many users experience multiple shedding cycles before seeing significant hair regrowth.
community If finasteride and dutasteride are supposed to maintain the hair that you have, then why do you go through a shedding phase?
Hair loss treatments Finasteride and Dutasteride may cause shedding, but it's a good sign as miniaturized hairs are replaced by thicker ones. Shortness of breath may be experienced from Dutasteride or oral Minoxidil.
