General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear Rizwaan, Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Both Minoxidil 5% spray/lotion & tablet Finasteride are approved remedies for androgenetic alopecia ('male pattern baldness') in males.
Use these medications after consulting a dermatologist.The maximum beneficial effects are seen only after six months of continuous use.
Besides, the other possible causes of hair loss such as chronic disease, anemia, hormonal diseases such as thyroid problems, etc should be thoroughly investigated and treated accordingly.
Along with the prescribed medications, you should also take Tablet Biotin 5 mg once daily as it is essential for the growth of the hair. A healthy balanced diet rich in protein, calcium, fruits and vegetables is also recommended.
