Why Having Hair Loss Even After Treatment And Is There Any Side Effect Of Fimax?

Hi doctor, i am 28 year old male, suffering from hair loss for last 5 years. i don't have any family history of hair fall and all family members has good hairs. untill 2 years back i took homeopathic treatment for hair fall, it slowed down my hair fall but didn't stopped it. Now my crown area has very less hairs. recently i consulted a dermatologist and he prescribed me Fimax 1mg and hairbless 5/4A lotion. i am worried that what side effects these medicines have and whether they will be helpfull and whether there result will last longer or just temporary till i take medicines

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

You seem to have androgenetic alopecia.
Androgenetic alopecia mainly affects the front and crown part of the scalp. There is thinning as well as hair loss.
This may also be accompanied by widening and deepening of angles of the anterior hair line as well as gradual recession of anterior hair line.
Family history is positive in most in father, brother etc.
Presence of family history in first degree relatives is not a prerequisite and it may be absent.
History of baldness in uncles, nephews, cousins etc is also of significance.
Minoxidil and Finasteride are approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
The goal of treatment is to arrest Or slow down further progression.
It is easier to maintain hair and slow down progression rather than regrow new hair.
Therefore, treatment should be started early before alopecia has progressed to later stages.
These are prescription medications and therefore I suggest that you visit a specialist for the needful.

Regards
