Hair Loss Treatment
I had serious hair loss for last couple of years and i consulted a doctor who prescribed finoprost 1mg tablet along with some other oil and vitamin tablets. I'm having this tablet for last 2 years. Many of my friends are saying that it has got many side effects. I would like to know if it is true and will there be any side effects if this tablets are taken for such a long period? Thank you in advance
