Hello,

Yes, you can continue with the prescribed medicines. The combination treatment with minoxidil and proanagen will work better. Minoxidil increases the blood circulation to the hair follicles and thus promotes hair growth and reduces hair fall. Proanagen helps to strengthen the hair, prevents hair loss and prevents chemical and mechanical damage.

While Androanagen is a combination of minoxidil and aminexil. It is used to treat hair loss. Androanagen improves blood circulation to the hair follicles, nourishes them, and prevents hair fall. It helps regrowth of healthy, thick, and long hair. But, the side effects cause Increased hair growth on face, arms and back. Other side effects are skin rash, headache, etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
