hello shamim
welcome to healthcaremagic forum
you have androgenetic alopecia grade 5 .
it is advance stage of hair loss
minoxidil is good drug ,but it can prevent further hair loss mainly ,regrow of hair is minimum and hair which grow are thin and temporary
we have to be realistic in hair loos treatment
hair transplant is the only way to get your hair back .
if 5 % minoxidil do not work then there is no use of using 10%.
better to consult dermatologist and get examined and take decision further
i hope i answered your question
