Can Tugain Be Taken To Control Hair Fall?

I have been experiencing hairfall since the age of 16-17. Am 27 now, had tried various oils and gave fairly good enough result even though not perfect.after six to seven months of medication the condition is back to square one- hair fall again. Is tugain a good option. Haven t tried it yet. Suggest please.

Hi,

Welcome to HCM...

Tugain is a minoxidil. If you have male pattern baldness, you may use tugain 10% solution along with oral treatment of finesteride 1 mg daily.

For confirming the diagnosis of male pattern baldness,you consult the dermatologist. If the cause of hair loss is other than male pattern baldness, the mode of treatment is different.

I hope you got my answer..

Thanks.
