      The user is using a combination of finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, pumpkin seeds, laser therapy, PRP, dermaroller, and vitamins for hair loss. They are advised to switch to oral finasteride and be patient, as results may take up to a year, with a hair transplant as a potential future option.
