Brief Answer:
Various medicines can be used to arrest hair loss

Detailed Answer:
Hello there and Welcome,

Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Hairfall can occur due to fungal infections and application of ketoconazole shampoo like Nizoral twice or thrice weekly is the first step to take.

If that does not help, you can still use Minoxidil Lotion (various concentrations) to facilitate hair growth. The demerit of this is that if you ever discontinue using it, hairloss will increase even further.

Other medicines like FINASTERIDE and androgens can be used as next line to improve hair growth(Since all these are prescription based medicines , I suggest you to go get checked by a Dermatologist first).

However, baldness or hairloss usually has a genetic component and all these steps have limited contribution.
