Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
You are receiving Minoxidil solution and a lot of vitamin tablets. It is important to know the diagnosis of your hair loss problem. Hair loss is not a single disease and a lot of conditions can cause hair fall. Treatments vary according to the diagnosis. It is your right as a patient to know what disease the doctor is treating you for.

Minoxidil is the treatment for Male pattern baldness and it should be used life long or till you need to prevent baldness, not for 2 years.
It is a good idea to consult another dermatologist for a second opinion and make sure you ask him for the diagnosis.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
