Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand that you are having male pattern hair fall and you were on minoxidil and T. Follihair.
Male pattern baldness is a genetically mediated type of hair fall. Minoxidil is an US-FDA approved treatment for this type of hair fall. Follihair contains biotin and other vitamins which will strengthen the hair roots.
You must remember that since it is a genetically mediated hair fall, once you stop the medications, the normal body physiology will take over and you may notice hair fall again.
Minoxidil helps in preserving whatever hairs you have at present and will also stimulate new hair formation to some extent. So, as long as you want your hairs to be preserved, you must continue to use minoxidil. Follihair can be stopped after 2-3 months.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing you good health,
Dr. Johny Chacko
