Experiencing Hair Fall, Tried Morr F And Had Side Effect. Suggest?

Hello Dr.,

I am 28. Experiencing hair fall since I was 19. The overall density has decreased. I have tried Morr F which consists of Minoxidil and topical Finateride. I used it for about a month and discountinued because of its visible side effects. However the side effects started showing up after 2-3 days application.

My questions:
1) Am I suffering from MPB or any other kind of alopecia? My father was bald. However I dont have a bald patch yet.
2) I want to avoid Minox & Finast because of the sides. Is there any other solution?
