Effective treatments for male pattern baldness include finasteride, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil. Non-effective approaches include oils, shampoos, serums, laser therapies, massages, vitamins, and microneedling.
community Science backed answer only from what you have learnt .
Alcohol-based minoxidil absorbs better but can cause irritation; non-alcohol-based is gentler. Topical dutasteride shows promise but needs more research; low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/day) is effective with fewer side effects. Ingredients like Procapil, Redensyl, caffeine, and Anagain in shampoos have limited evidence; ketoconazole shampoo can help when used 2-3 times a week with other treatments.
