Not much to worry.. however treatment depends on the grade..You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

Oral minoxidil is very old medicine
It's use has been stopped for its side effects
The side effect is excess hair
After that - the tablet form's disadvantage is converted into advantage and started using topically
Again minoxidil systemic form is considered for hair loss
Every tablet has side effects theoretically
Whether u r facing or not - means a lot
Sit with your dermatologist
Discuss regarding it's side effects
After all none if the doctors voluntarily harms his own patients
