I just started taking 1.25mg of fincar and I apply rogaine 5% foam once daily. I have a few questions. First off my hair isn't in bad shape, I'm just looking to even out my hairline and fill in the thinned areas. My questions are; Is it possible that I won't experience any side effects from the finasteride?? Also is taking the minoxidil once a day alright?.. its easier to just do it before bed and not have it in my hair all day.
