Finasteride vs. Minoxidil

These aren't competing choices so much as partners in a hair-loss plan.

Different targets

Finasteride reduces the hormone driving loss; minoxidil stimulates the follicles directly. Many people use both for a stronger effect.

Consistency matters — results build over months, and stopping typically reverses gains. A clinician tailors the regimen to you.
