Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.

You do not need to worry drugs have been found effective against hair loss among the most popular are minoxidil, ketaconazole, and finasteride (all generic names). Mostly hair loss pattern is genetic and hormone related. Minoxidil and finasteride are available in tablets, lotions, and shampoos work by blocking the action of enzymes that cause hair fall. Ketaconazole shampoo Nizoral works by treating fungal infections leading to hair loss. Consult your dermatologist before starting on any hair-loss drug that needs to be taken orally, and keep your doctor informed about any hair-loss product you use if you have a medical condition.




Take care
