Hello, I’m a 23-year-old male. I recently consulted a dermatologist and was diagnosed with male androgenic alopecia. The doctor prescribed medications, but since I just started working, I currently don’t have enough budget to afford them.

I’d like to ask for recommendations from people who have experienced or are currently experiencing the same condition. Are there any cheaper substitute or generic brands for the prescribed medications? I’d also appreciate any advice or alternative treatments that helped you manage hair loss. Thank you.

Prescriptions:

- Finasteride (Stercia) 1mg

- Finasteride (Trichogen) 0.1%

- Thioderm 500mg

- Hair Grower Solution (from derma)
