Finasteride tablets for hair loss

Last year I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Since then I’ve had severe hair loss. I’ve tried what feels like everything but I keep losing my hair. Recently my dermatologist prescribed my Finasteride for hair loss. She told my it’s given to men but since I’ve had a hysterectomy it would be safe to take. I’ve done some reading on it and it’s a little concerning. Has any other women tried this and did it help? I’m 2 months in and still losing hair. It said it could take 3 months for men to see a change.
