community Is topical fin + min having the same results as the oral one
Topical finasteride with minoxidil can be effective but may not match oral finasteride results, with less absorption into the bloodstream. Shedding is common when starting or stopping minoxidil and finasteride, and adding dutasteride and tretinoin can enhance effectiveness by improving absorption and DHT inhibition.
