Hello Dr.Rakesh,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern about hair fall.
Hair regrowth and stopping of hair fall is possible with use of Minoxidil. It is ideal to use it. But it takes longer time for the results to be seen. So you need to have patience.
Use Minoxidil 5% solution everyday twice daily. By about 4 to 6 months, you will see the effects that your hair fall will decrease and by 1 year you will appreciate the hair regrowth. In addition you need to take Finasteride, which works by reducing the amount of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body, which is the main compound blamed for hair fall in men.
You may also use Ketoconazole and Selenium shampoo twice a week to keep your scalp healthy.
Hope the information helps you.
All the best.
