I Have been using KZ lotion daily like my regular shampoo... Is this the reason my hairs are falling? I started using KZ lotion because a doctor informed me too.. Lemme know which other shampoo can i use?
one more question...
Kindly explain me the use of minoxidil lotion? As i read few blogs online that it doesn't work for all the patients... Is there any side effects?
The tablets, how long should keep taking them? what are there benifits? is there any side effect?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Dont worry i have suggested you minoxidil after seeing your photograph.
It works well in androgenic alopecia.
You will have to continue it till the time you want good hair.
Once you stop it hair fall may again start.
Tablet you can take for 6 months and then stop.

There are no side effects of minoxidil.
I have a patient using it from last 12 years.
The tablets might cause little stomach discomfort but soon you will get adjusted to it.

KZ is medicated shampoo,
Use it just twice a week, on other days you can use anaphase shampoo.
Thank you
