Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Minoxidil 5 % solution and oral Finasteride tab once a day are approved remedies for androgenetic alopecia in males. The goal of treatment is to arrest further progression and regrow lost hair. Treatment is long term preferably lifelong.
