Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Minoxidil is helpful for male pattern hair loss. This should be used for at least 4 months to start getting benefits. It should be continued also. If you want to stop then you have to wean it off gradually. Applying capixyl gel is also good. It is also advised to used ketoconazole shampoo weekly twice.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
