Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
You seem to have androgenetic alopecia, judging from the treatment that you have been prescribed.
In androgenetic alopecia there is gradual thinning and hair loss from the frontal and crown part of scalp which is also associated with gradually receding anterior hair line as well as widening and deepening of angles of anterior hair line.
The tendency to develop this type of alopecia is genetic and usually there is a family history.
Last time round you were prescribed topical minoxidil and Oral finasteride which is the right kind of treatment for this type of hair loss.
Minoxidil and finasteride are the only approved treatments for this type of alopecia.
The goal of treatment is to arrest/ slow down further progression and if the hair fall is not very long standing this treatment may even reverse early hair loss.
Treatment is long term and therefore I suggest you to restart with the same treatment.
The results would normally be appreciable after 6-8 months of regular use and thereafter need to be maintained with life long treatment.
Regards
