Hello there!
thank you for asking. I read your query and i think playing game of hormones with androanagen tablets is a risky businees just to get the hair loss back.

Why dont you try simple innocuous ways to regrow your hair

1- vasodilators
they come with the name of Minoxidil topical (Rogaine).Available as 2% and 5% solutions.

2-Some anti Androgens like
Finasteride (Propecia)

But i would recommend to visit hair loss centers and a qualified dermatologists to have a second opinion.

I wish you luck

Regards
Dr S Khan
