I am having androgenic allopecia losing lot of hair.use of minoxidil 5% will fix the problem?

Can help; Not a cure: Minoxidil can help prevent further male-pattern hair loss, and may even promote some limited hair growth. However, it is not a cure, and any benefit is usually lost once Minoxidil is discontinued.
