In some cases, yes. Depending on your hair loss, a doctor may recommend combining finasteride with a complementary treatment such as minoxidil, to help increase the likelihood of treatment success. Of note, there have been clinical studies conducted that have shown that taking finasteride and minoxidil together may be more effective at re-growing hair than finasteride on its own. If you're wondering whether you need another treatment in addition to finasteride, we recommend consulting with a doctor.
