Suggestions from others include switching to dutasteride, trying oral minoxidil, and considering microneedling or hair fibers for better appearance.

community Why do most of you choose finasteride instead of dutasteride?
Finasteride is preferred over dutasteride due to its longer history, more research, and FDA approval, despite dutasteride being more potent. Users report varied side effects, influencing personal treatment choices.
