First and foremost, you should not start or stop taking any medication on your own without consulting your doctor that prescribed the medication to you. Tuberculosis is a serious matter and you should not do anything to jeopardize your treatment regimen. With respect to hair loss, it is virtually impossible to tell if it is the medication that is causing it. You may have a component of genetic hair loss and may be noticing a coincidental correlation or the existence of TB as a debilitating disease — this alone can cause hair loss. You may consider seeing a physician for further medical work-ups to rule out any other potential causes for hair loss and particularly determine if your overall ‘nitrogen balance’ is positive (nutritional balance). For genetic balding, finasteride should not be contraindicated.
