For hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), finasteride and minoxidil are the main options, the two well-studied active ingredients. They can be used individually or in combination:
- Finasteride targets the main hormonal cause of hereditary hair loss.
- Minoxidil supports hair growth at the hair root.
Whether and in which form an active ingredient is an option for you, topically as a spray or orally, is decided by the doctor after the health questionnaire. For minoxidil, oral use is not approved for this purpose in Germany and is off-label, that is, based on a doctor's benefit-risk assessment in the individual case.
A prescription is only issued if a therapy is medically suitable.
