22M with MPB — Want to start minoxidil + finasteride but no topical fin available, any experience with natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and caffeine?

Hey guys,
I’m 22 and dealing with male pattern baldness. I want to start minoxidil and finasteride, but I don’t want to take oral fin because of side effects. Problem is, I can’t find topical fin anywhere in my country.

I’ve seen some hair tonics and products that have stuff like saw palmetto and caffeine, which supposedly block DHT. Has anyone tried these? Do they actually work compared to fin?

Would appreciate any advice or experiences, thanks!

min is a good start, but finding topical fin might take some digging, look into telehealth options. saw palmetto and caffeine can help but they lack strong evidence compared to fin. if oral fin bothers you, topical alternatives like dut might work. check out the product finder for more options.
