Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.

It is quite usual for patients to notice a rebound or relapse of hair fall after treatment is discontinued. Therefore, it is usually advisable to continue some form of maintenance treatment for a longer duration e.g Topical Minoxidil solution (Or Tincture benzoin with Vitamin K) with or without Biotin supplementation. I suggest you to start with Minoxidil 5% solution(Mintop forte), 1 ml, twice daily application at scalp skin. In addition you may take a biotin supplement e.g Tab Revilus Or Tab. H- Vit forte once daily. Hair fall responds gradually therefore you need to continue using these for at least 4-6 weeks before you may notice improvement and even thereafter.

Regards
