I left the all above and my hair fall is increasing very fast so that I m very depressed. Kindly, please suggest me for the same. Thanking you!

Hi,
That's about all the medicines directly for hair falling out. Some people might have a vitamin deficiency, autoimmune disease, or thyroid problem, but those are rare. Otherwise those are the only medicines. Yes finasterone is a blocker of production of testosterone and affects male sexual activity. Then, which one will work depends on the pattern of hair loss with frontal being a male pattern and testosterone blockade the only possible medication. If it is on top but not front, minoxidil works well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
