Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand from your query that you are suffering from hair loss and are concerned about the treatment.

Androanagen is a combination of essential vitamins, minerals and saw palmetto which has an inhibitory effect of the hormone responsible for male pattern hair loss.

It does not have major side effects and can be taken safely.

However, based on your description, I would consider the possibility of a male pattern hair loss. This is best treated with 5 % minoxidil solution applied twice a day on the scalp. Oral finasteride could also be given in severe cases. Please discuss these treatment modalities with your doctor. Minoxidil and finasteride are US-FDA approved medications for male pattern hair fall.

Have a healthy diet rich in proteins and anti-oxidants.

Try to reduce stress levels by yoga/ meditation.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
