However, drug interventions may be discussed with a physician as options for managing the extent of hair loss. This would most likely include Finasteride (Propecia) or Rogaine (Minoxidil) as the most common choices.
Young patents should avoid unnecessary intake/use of androgen as is common among body builders. These drugs would accelerate hair loss. If it is indicated, the use of DHT blockers in conjunction should be discussed with the prescribing physicians.
While some people may experience the growth of new hair, this does not always occur for every patient who uses these medications. Most patients can expect however to slow down the rate of shedding. While younger patients may not be eligible for hair restoration surgery, they do have the advantage of starting their treatment early to prevent more serious manifestations of baldness.
