If i decide to be consulted by the doctor and be analysed with the dermascope thing every 6 months or 1 year mark. Do you think that helps to see if its working? If im getting better etc. ?

Yes i know. But my question is. Is there a way to prevent that for happen? To know that Finasteride isnt working while i take both drugs? I know that even on drugs hair loss will progress. But i just want to be certain that Finasteride is working in first years, and that isnt only Minoxidil. If it was only Minoxidil working i would immediately change and try Dutasteride or something instead of losing 2.5 years of waiting and hair loss..

Hi all. Im new here and im Portuguese. So sorry if my english isnt the best. I have a question and i will try to not make it confuse. I started oral Minoxidil and Finasteride like 2 weeks ago. Prescribed by my doctor. I have MPB. I know that drugs have different mechanisms. One is a stimulant and the other is a Dht blocker. But in term of results they are similar. Hair growth, tickness etc... I read and saw on youtube some guys that took Minoxidil for like 2 or 2.5 years and lost all their gains because they werent taking Finasteride. I started both drugs at same time. So lets suppose that in 1 year i will have results in thickness, growth etc. How will i know if both drugs are working? Or if its only Minoxidil working? I ask this because i can be taking both drugs, and in 2 or 3 years i lose all my gains only to discover in that moment, that only minoxidil was working and not finasteride. Not only i lose minoxidil gains and also i lose 2 or 3 years of keeping hair because i was thinking that finasteride was working. I know that doctors are specialists. But how can they say if both are working in 1 or 2 years without risk losing hair, time and money? Thank you.
