Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

You seem to be having male pattern hair loss for which you have been started on the right treatment and I am happy to know that you have found good improvement.

Male pattern baldness is genetically determine. As long as you continue the medication, you will notice good response. Once you stop, the genes take over and hair fall may start again.

I suggest you to continue with Minoxidil as maintenance treatment. You could stop the tablets and other lotions.

They will not cause any problems with conception and pregnancy.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
