Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is understandable to be concerned the side effects of any medication.
These effects may or may not occur.

If you do not wish to use the finasteride at this time then you can consider using only the minoxidil for now.
This can be used on its own to help with hair loss.

I hope this helps

hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
when you stop drugs like finasteride and minoxidil they may cause hair fall
before restarting drugs get examined by dermatologist and you can start over after that
