I'm prescribed Trichodixil tablets, but they're pretty expensive compared to New Follihair tablets, which seem to have a similar or even better composition. Can I switch to Follihair instead? And about this Minokem F 5 topical solution I'm using - it's quite pricey too! Is Brintop F 5 a good alternative?
