Hello
I went through your history. You seem to have a mild form of male pattern at you age.
Both the tabs are same but unfortunately have no evidence based records. You may take these as only vitamins. Both contain biotin which is plenty in egg. Only if you are strict vegetarian these may help.
More than these your doctors should have prescribed 5 percent minoxidil which is more effective and has evidence.
Have a good day
