Hi I Am 19 Yrs Old, Male And A Med

Hi I am 19 yrs old, male and a med student. I have been losing hair on the sides in the front. My grandfather is bald though my father is alright. Can you please prescribe some treatment. If you do prescribe Finasteride, please let me know of its side effects. If you suggest me Minoxidil, please let me know if it helps improve hair on the front ( most say it improves hair on vertex).
