What is the question: Finasteride is drug to treat enlarged prostate in men twice your age. Minoxidil is sometimes used for scalp hair loss. The use of this combination MAY help with hair growth ,but it is not an standard treatment. Balding is genetic ,any family member losing scalp hair ?? I send best health wishes
