a. Rogaine (Minoxidil): Rogaine is a topical solution that can be applied to the scalp to stimulate hair regrowth. It is available over-the-counter and does not require a prescription.
b. Propecia (Finasteride): Propecia is an oral prescription medication primarily used to treat male pattern baldness. It is not suitable for use by women who are pregnant or considering pregnancy.
