Hello, Thanks for the query. You mentioned that your hairline is thin and bald patches are visible. So I assume that you have male pattern baldness. US FDA approved medicines for male pattern baldness is minoxidil 5% solution and finasteride 1 mg tablets. You have enquired whether minoxidil on stopping will increase hair fall. Minoxidil should not be stopped as it helps to halt your genetic baldness. Once it is stopped your genes take over and the process of baldness restarts. All hairs which were saved by minoxidil only will fall and it won t cause increase in hair fall. Keraglo can be used as a supplement for your hair growth and can be used along with minoxidil. Hope this helped Take care
