Well i was also with doctor Gur. Currently on 3 months.
left in february
no minoxidil no finasteride
surgery done first week of may
currently on 1mg fin and 5mg oral minoxidil daily
and medical therapy does help
i would recommend start with minoxidil it would thicken your hair but it s a tough call without finasteride
if you are scared of side
try starting with 0.5 mg daily
