In addition to prescription drugs, you could always look into herbal/natural supplements. You'll find that supplements used to ward off prostate cancer are linked to hair growth/retention as well.

I contemplated taking Proscar for a while too, but the negative thing about these meds is that once you start, you have to take them for the rest of your life to retain your hair. For most people, health benefits specifically do not cover meds for male-pattern baldness. I know that eventually I'll need to do a Lex Luthor, but for now, I'll stick with using a number #2 razor for the next several years. (Fortunately, I have the right shape for a bald head.)
