Hello dear,

Male pattern baldness usually follows a pattern of receding hairline & is related to genetic makeup and male sex hormones.

Finasteride preparations (like Finax) interferes with the production of male hormone linked to baldness.

In addition, you can also use:
1. Minoxidil preparations (like Mintop 10%) applied directly to the scalp helps in hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles.
2. Multivitamin supplements containing Biotin.
These medications have to be used regularly under the guidance of a Dermatologist.

If still there is no relief, I would advise you to go for hair transplant.
Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
