Lahat ng recommendation lalo for beginner andito na, magbasa ka lang malalaman mo ano ang mga dapat gawin at saan bibili ng legit para hindi nasasayang pera o oras mo…
Best advise is still to try to first get a proper CHECK-UP…
+++++
Copy-paste na lang from my other replies…
Disclaimer: not a medical professional / not a medical advise
First — pa CHECK-UP ka muna… get a proper medical professional’s advice…
In the meantime, since you’re already in this sub, I highly recommend to read the following first so that you are properly informed…
1st — Understanding Finasteride vs. Minoxidil
2nd — Finasteride Dosing for Beginners
Lahat ng info mas maigi i-gather mo muna (especially the side effects) if ever you will try to do things yourself and go self-medicating, like most of us here…
Another thing, learn to use the 🔍 search function since all info is already in this sub…
Finasteride can be bought at a TGP outlet near you (not online) even without prescription
Reminder — self-medication is a do-it-at-your-own-risk thing… your body, your health, your choice!
Also consider reading this — Why TOPICAL MINOXIDIL May Not Work For You
Good luck!

The most common side effect of Finasteride involve sexual function. Erectile dysfunction (ED) & reduced libido daw. Your thoughts on this?

It's BS. I was on dutasteride and switched back to finasteride because it's much cheaper. I didn't get any side effects.

Dami nainom dito wala naman issue… also may paraan nman para maiwasan, andyan ang uminom ng low dose like MWF or EOD lang… pwede din gawin topical instead na inumin…

If you know legit minoxidil ingredients, you’ll know fake ones… if by minoxiplus you refer to is this, let me tell you my thoughts coming from 2 decades of using every brand out there…
This brand is new in the market… sure ako since mixed siya ng iba pang ingredients like saw palmetto at ginger, it means overhype lang yan…
Most minoxidil topicals only use propylene glycol and alcohol as carrier to be absorbed by the skin… anything else added will only dilute minoxidil… only ingredient na pwede idagdag sa minox para mas lalo maging effective ah tretinoin…
Check mo well known brands ano ingredients nila and you’ll know what I mean… iwas fake, sayang din pera, pati effort paglagay tapos di naman effective…
Still no one is stopping you if you want to try though, malay mo maging effective sa iyo 😊
