Brief Answer: Possible Androgenic alopecia ,treatable. Detailed Answer: Hello mam, Welcome to Healthcare magic, Nice to meet you here, The use of klonopin is reported rarely to cause hair loss. If so, you can ask your physician to reduce the dosage of drug to limit your hair fall. As you are experiencing androgenic alopecia [male type baldness] usage of finastride tablets and minoxidil topical solution helps you to reduce the hair fall and regrowth of lost hair. The dosage and frequency has to be finalised after complete examination. So, get a physician appointment to get examined and treated accordingly. Hope helped you. Take care.
