So I've been to my hair doctor recently and he told me that I have the option to either take Propecia tablets twice a week (as my DHT levels are naturally low and hence my hair loss process is not aggressive) or he could manufacture a foam with 6% minoxidil that includes finasteride which I can rub on to my scalp. Now the Propecia pills are much cheaper than the foam given that I only need two a week.
My question is: He did mention some of the side effects such as; Impotence, reduced libido, and in the rare case male breast cancer. I had the feeling that he tried to scare me in a way to go for the foam option instead as I believe he may possibly make some money off commission if I go for the foam. What do you all think? How common are the side effects of Propecia? Also given that I only need two pills a week, does that make the side effects even less common?
Thank you!
