How Can Male Pattern Baldness Be Treated?
My age is 21.I am suffering from male pattern baldness. I have been using minoxidil and harvest tabs since 1.5 years(taking breaks in middle.). I took some break in medication and my hairfall again started. 1) Should I continue my medication? 2) Should I try sal palmetto tabs? Are they safe? If so prescribe me the dosage please.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
You can restart using Minoxidil.
Safety of saw palmetto depends on what other medications you are on. Saw pal.etto can cause low blood sugar in diabetics and increased bleeding tendencies in people taking aspirin or warfarin.Tge usually used dosage of saw Palmerston is 100-400 mg twice daily.
Hope this answers your question
