Two pharmacological treatments have the strongest evidence base: oral finasteride (a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that reduces DHT) and topical minoxidil (a vasodilator with hair-growth promoting effect). Fatigue patterns differ: some appear in the first weeks and resolve, others persist or worsen over months.
