Hello,

Welcome to health care magic.

You are having hair loss mainly from the vertex and not over the sides and back of scalp. This is a patterned hair fall seen in Male pattern baldness. There are US FDA approved treatments for it like topical minoxidil 5 % solution and Finasteride tablets. These have to be prescribed by a dermatologist.

You could also take biotin 5 mg tablets which will strengthen the hair roots.

Other adjuvant treatments include laser comb and microneedling treatments.

Asthma medications will not cause increase in your hair fall. Do not worry.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
