Hello. Thank you for writing to us You seem to have andogenetic alopecia. This is most common cause of hair fall and decreased hair density/ thinning in males. Androgenetic alopecia may start at any time after puberty and usually manifests initially as widening and deepening of angles of anterior hair line in males. Later on there may be thinning, hair fall from the front and vertex part of the scalp along with receding anterior hair line. Treatment that is approved is topical minoxidil and oral finasteride. The tablet that you have been prescribed contains saw palmetto extract which has the same mechanism of action as finasteride. Therefore, in my view, you are on the right treatment for your alopecia. Goal of treatment is to arrest or slow down further progression & therefore it is important to start treatment as soon as possible. New hair regrowth depends on how early treatment was begun. If it was started at an early stage, new hair regrowth may be expected. Response varies from individual to individual and is usually evident after 4-6 months of regular use. Regards
