I have been having the issue since the age of 21. My family, both from father's and mother's side, have severe baldness. I have been treating since 2013, in the initial days the medication was helpful to reduce hair loss, but since the last 6 months it is not that effective and I am losing a lot of hair since then.
I had dandruff and itching but since i started using the shampoo prescribed by the Doc i am free from it.

Hello
Welcome again and thanks for the details
Since you genetically determined baldness so you will not be able to prevent it with the medicines.
If you are really concerned for your hairs than you can go for hair transplant therapy which has good long term results.
With the help of medicines you will only be able to delay hair fall but you can't stop it.
Hope you will find my response informative and helpful
Wishing you good health
