Treatments for Hair Loss in Men
OTC Medications
Currently, two medications have been approved for treating hair loss caused by male pattern baldness:
– Finasteride (Proscar, Propecia): You need to take this prescription pill on a daily basis.
– Minoxidil (Rogaine): This medication can be purchased over the counter as a foam or liquid. You need to apply it to your scalp two times per day to get the expected effects.
It may take a few months to see the expected results. Also, you need to keep taking them to retain the benefits. [4]
