I am suggested to have a tablet of Calcium & apply some hair oil on daily basis.

Pl. help & advice.

Brief Answer:
Minoxidil solution

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Avoid applying sticky oils. These may worsen the hair loss.

I recommend you to apply Minoxidil 5% solution (MINTOP) every day. Apply it to the scalp with the applicator provided. This will surely show good response.

You can also take Tab FINAX 1mg daily to further prevent hair loss and promote growth of new hair.

Calcium may not be of help in hair regrowth or to prevent loss.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
