Actually, it can cause your hairloss to become worse while you're on it. There's lots of who experienced worsening whilst on Finasteride. The drug does not respond positively to a lot of people.

There's been people on it for a year or more than 2 years and said there hair looked worse once they started taking Finasteride.

Also, it doesn't really look like you have hairloss before taking it. You might be experiencing what is actually known as a "maturing hairline" and not actually a receding hairline due to male pattern Balding. Often times that "Maturing hairline" will look the same for many many years with no receeding. And judging by the density, volume, thickness and shape of your hairline, it looks like you shouldn't even be worried about taking any drug for your hair, especially Finasteride which is making your hair look worse than what it was before you started, where you had negligible hairloss.

I would strongly advise you Google what a "maturing hairline" is, which is caused by age and not be confusing it with Male Patterned Balding.

So i shouldn't be taking finasteride,as a preventive measure?
I'd say you shouldn't. You don't need to be messing with your hormones and potentially cause accelerated hairloss when you're probably only experiencing a maturing hairline.

There's safer ways to do hair and thicken it, like Microneedling + Minoxidil

You seem to know everything already. You say you are definitely thinning because your brother is already a nw3(not guaranteed) you’re taking finasteride and you know from your research that a shed can happen. What exactly are you asking?

Actually, this is an effective treatment that microneedling can provide as scar tissue is similar to balding tissue in many ways. In general, scar tissue lacks the typical lattice type framework of crossing "slats" that make skin stronger and help it blend in. Cowlicks and cellulite similarly seem to lack the lattice framework which makes them noticeable amid surround unaffected tissue.

Best,
