Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss in males, specially if there is a family history. I suggest him to use Minoxidil 5 %solution, twice daily. In addition I suggest an oral Finasteride tab once a day for long. Both of these are approved remedies for androgenetic alopecia in males. These are prescription medications and I advice you to kindly talk to your local practitioner for a prescription of the same.
