What Is The Best Medication For Thin And Less Hair?

My hair have become very thin, and less. I consulted a specialist and was prescribed MinoXidil 10%. but on consultation to another doc, i's told not to use minoxidil at this age. He prescribed me natural fruits, egg, and milk in diets, and in support tablets "AZ3 500mg" and "tablet BTN ultra". Now tell me what's the best solution.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

You seem to have Androgenetic Alopecia/ Male Pattern Hereditary Hair Loss.
In this type of hair loss there is thinning and hair loss predominantly from the top of the scalp. There is a family history of balding in other male members of the family.
In Androgenetic Alopecia/Male pattern baldness, there is gradually receding anterior hair line associated with thinning and hair loss from the angles of the anterior hair line, thus giving a "V" shaped appearance to the anterior hair line.
Minoxidil and Finasteride are approved and specific remedies for androgenetic alopecia.
Treatment is long term and early the treatment is begun the better it is because the goal of treatment is to arrest further progression of hair loss.
Therefore in my view Minoxidil was a good choice for you. I would also suggest Finasteride for you.
These are prescription medications. Therefore I suggest you to talk to your dermatologist for the needful.
Healthy diet, rich in proteins and Oral Biotic supplement are an add on to specific treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia.

Regards
