Minoxidil and Finasteride are FDA-approved for slowing hair loss (backed up by clinical trials), and may provide some hair regrowth, but you have to take/apply them forever. They're both available as generics.

Minoxidil can be sold over-the-counter (Rogaine is minoxidil) while finasteride requires a prescription.
