Dermatologist,  's  Response
hello

thanks for posting your query.

i can understand your concern.

male pattern baldness requires life long treatment.

once you stop medications, the hair that was regained, is lost.

you can take finasteride tablets for it simultaneously with tugain lotion, however you need to take it under the guidance of your dermatologist as it requires constant monitoring. finasteride will be a better option in cases where minoxidil i.e tugain lotion is not very effective.

regards
