Brief Answer:
Minoxidil 5 percent lotion & tab Finasteride

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Minoxidil 5 percent lotion is very effective in the treatment of male pattern baldness.
The dose is 1 ml twice daily.
For better results it is given along with tablet Finasteride 1 mg once daily.
These are usually continued for 4-5 months for significant results and for atleast 1 year to see maximum benefits.
