How Can Alopecia Be Treated?
Hi....I am 28 yrs old male(unmarried) suffering from androgenic alopecia with mild hairfall and receding hair line. Using minoxidil 5% since 1 and half months, but no improvement so far. Should i start taking saw palmetto tablets, along with minoxidil. Is it safe to take saw palmetto, as I do not want to use finasteride due to its sexual side effects. Also, how long is it safe to take saw palmetto and what should be daily dosage ?

Hello welcome to the health care magic
Low dose finasteride tablet and minoxidil topical application is enough for your alopecia.
Within 2 month improvement can be seen in way that your further hair fall will decrease
No drug will grow new hair follicle
If you searching for permanent solution than hair transplantation is needed
Hope your concern solved
Take care
