Hi Male pattern hair loss is well treated with Minoxidil. However if this medicine is stopped it can cause shedding of hair. This happens for upto 3 to 6 weeks after stopping the morning. The shed hair also grows back in some months. However if you have thin hair it is better to restart and continue medicines.
