Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hairfall in males is most commonly due to Male Pattern Baldness also known as Androgenic Aloepecia..
It is caused due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics..

Other causes comes under Telogen Efluvium caused by fungal infection,nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines..

Tugain gel 2 contains Minoxidil in 2% concentration and is effective in reducing hair fall as it acts by improving blood supply over the scalp and it will reduce hairfall..

It can be applied for about 6 months to even an year for improvement and even the concentration is gradually increased from 2% to 5%..

You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assy, blood tests, trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..

Along with Minoxidil lotion you can also be advised other supplements for faster resolution..
You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements..
You can also be advised to tke Finesteride orally if there is androgenic aloepesia as it suppresses androgens..
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..

You can also discuss about platelet rich plasma and Mesotherapy..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
