Hair Loss Treatment and Medication
The most common treatments for hair loss are Minoxidil (Regaine), which is available without prescription and must be applied twice daily. Finasteride (Propecia), which is obtained only on prescription and is a pill that must be taken daily.
Hair loss caused by medications, stress, lack of protein or iron, or hair type, can be prevented. Avoid certain medications, reducing stress, eating a proper dose of protein and iron in the diet and using hairstyles that do not damage your hair may reduce or prevent hair loss. Hereditary hair loss can not be prevented.
