Best For: Men with aggressive hair loss or those who didn't respond well to Finasteride.
Results: Stronger regrowth potential than Finasteride.
Side Effects: Similar to Finasteride, but slightly higher risk.
3. Spironolactone – Oral Tablet (For Women Only)
How It Works: Blocks androgens (male hormones) that contribute to hair loss.
Best For: Women with hormonal hair loss (PCOS, menopause, androgenic alopecia).
Results: Reduced shedding & improved density in 3-6 months.
Side Effects: Dizziness, dehydration, menstrual irregularities, potassium imbalance.
4. Oral Minoxidil – Low-Dose Tablet (Alternative to Topical Minoxidil)

What Is Finasteride?
Finasteride (brand name Propecia) is an FDA-approved oral prescription medication used to treat hair loss in men. It works by blocking dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
How Does Finasteride Work?
✔ Inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT.
✔ Reduces DHT levels by about 70%, preventing further hair follicle miniaturization.
✔ Slows hair loss and stimulates regrowth, particularly at the crown and mid-scalp.
Who Is Finasteride For?
Men experiencing male pattern baldness (receding hairline or thinning at the crown).
Those looking to prevent further hair loss and maintain existing hair.
People willing to commit to long-term use, as stopping the medication may reverse its benefits.
How to Use Finasteride
Dosage: 1 mg daily (consistency is key for results).
Results Timeline: Hair loss slows in 3-6 months, with visible regrowth possible in 6-12 months.
What Is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil is an FDA-approved medication used to stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss. It works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, prolonging the growth phase of hair, and revitalizing dormant follicles. It is commonly used to treat male and female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) and can be used orally or topically.
How Minoxidil Works:
✔ Increases blood circulation to the scalp, delivering more nutrients to hair follicles
✔ Extends the hair growth phase (anagen phase) to promote thicker, longer hair
✔ Revitalizes shrinking or dormant follicles, encouraging new hair growth
✔ Reduces hair shedding over time
How to Use Minoxidil topically:
Apply directly to the scalp. *Amount indicated on prescription
Massage gently into the scalp and let it absorb (do not rinse off).
Avoid washing hair for at least 4 hours after application.
Consistency is key—results may take 3-6 months of regular use.
Potential Side Effects:
Temporary shedding in the first few weeks (normal as weak hairs fall out to make way for new growth)
Scalp dryness, itching, or irritation
Unwanted hair growth (if minoxidil comes into contact with other areas of the skin)
Who Should Use It?
✔ Men & women with hereditary hair loss (thinning at the crown or receding hairline)
✔ People looking to slow hair loss and maintain hair density
✔ Those committed to long-term use (stopping minoxidil can lead to hair loss resuming)
