My Medication
The most common medicines for hair loss include:
- Minoxidil (Rogaine) – A topical treatment available over the counter, it helps stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss. It is commonly used for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness).
- Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar) – An oral prescription medication that blocks the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is linked to hair loss in men. It is FDA-approved for male pattern baldness.
