Suggest Treatment For Severe Hair Loss

Hii. I m 26 years old man. I have a hair fall problem with male blading pattern. I have used minoxidil 2% solution and it helped little . So should I increase it to 4% or more? Any side effects about it? I have heard that this type of medicines creates sexual problems. Is that true?

Hello,

If 2% minoxidil doesn't help in decreasing hair loss than you can increase the dose or else dose should not be increased.

The topical application is usually safe to use and doesn't lead to any significant sexual problem. However, it can cause headache, dizziness like side effects.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
