If your hair loss is ongoing (e.g., androgenetic alopecia), you’ll usually need maintenance. Stopping most active therapies leads to gradual loss of gains. What happens if I stop… Finasteride/Dutasteride: DHT rises again; improvements typically fade over 6–12 months. Speak to your clinician before stopping. Minoxidil (oral/topical): Follicle stimulation ends; shedding often starts within 2–3 months, with return to baseline by 3–6 months. Laser Cap (LLLT): Results are use-dependent; pausing for weeks slows progress, longer breaks can reverse gains. Trichoscience Ketoconazole Shampoo / Conditioner: You can reduce frequency; if dandruff/inflammation returns, resume. Vitruvian Line supplement: Supportive; safe to stop (no rebound), but you lose the nutrition boost. Sea Salt Spray: Styling only—stop anytime with no effect on regrowth.

Short answer: most people tolerate them well, only about 2% of people experience them, but side effects can occur. They’re usually mild and reversible, especially with finasteride; dutasteride can linger longer in the body. Side effects can include: ↓ libido, erectile difficulty, or reduced ejaculate volume Breast tenderness/swelling (gynecomastia), testicular discomfort Headache, dizziness, skin rash Rare - Mood changes (low mood, anxiety), decreased energy - Allergic reaction (swelling, hives—seek urgent care) - Changes in liver enzymes (rare; discuss if you have liver disease) Important notes PSA tests: both drugs lower PSA (~50%); doctors adjust results accordingly. Pregnancy: not for use in women who are or may become pregnant. Avoid handling crushed/broken tablets or leaking capsules. Persistence: effects resolve after stopping; dutasteride can take months to clear (very long half-life). Persistent symptoms are uncommon but have been reported—tell your clinician if anything continues. If you notice sexual, mood, or breast changes, or anything that worries you, contact your clinician promptly. We’ll help weigh benefits vs risks and adjust the plan if needed.

They work by different mechanisms, minoxidil stimulates follicles; finasteride/dutasteride lower DHT—so using them together is common and more effective than either alone.
