Well it : Is off label but have seen Finasteride used. Don't know if it really works or has side effects. Nothing but hair color will prevent premature greeting as it is a genetic trait. There is rogaine (minoxidil) for women who have baldness but as soon as you stop using it the baldness returns

.: No safe hair growth pills available. You could try creams like minoxidil. Would also advise a dermatology opinion to see if there is another reason for hair loss - there are treatable causes of hair loss.
