Dear You are on the right course for treatment of male pattern Baldness. However, i will suggest following: 1 You can use 5% minoxidil instead of 10% as the former gives nearly same good results as the latter whereas cost wise the latter is expensive. 2 Shampoo will not help you get better 3 You should be rigorously regular to get the best effects 4 You might have to wait for up to 4 months to realize improvement provided you have been applying the medication regularly. Adgain is not likely to improve your outcome. But you might continue using this as a supplement. I ma sure the treatment is going to work for you and that you will be suing your medicines regularly.
