Can I combine minoxidil and finasteride?

Minoxidil and finasteride act at different points, minoxidil on the hair cycle and finasteride on the male hormone metabolism. That is why they are sometimes combined. Whether a combination makes sense in your case is decided by a doctor. Do not combine active ingredients on your own.
