I've had hair loss for 3 years and have tried many medicines without seeing growth. What is the best medication to try?
If hair loss has continued for 3 years despite medicines, it is important to first identify the exact cause: genetic, hormonal, nutritional, or medical, through a dermatologist. For male-pattern or female-pattern baldness, the most effective medicines usually are finasteride (oral) and minoxidil (topical). In cases where these do not work, your doctor may suggest PRP therapy, low-level laser therapy, or a hair transplant. A personalised plan from a specialist gives the best chance for visible hair growth.
