Diffuse Hair Loss, Hypothyroidism. Prescribed Biotin And Hair Vitalizers. Done Blood Test. Will It Work?

I am a 32 yrs. old women and have been suffering from diffuse hair loss for more than years. I have hypothyroidism and I take medicines and it remains under control. My routine blood report is normal and I do not have any other known disease.My menstrual cycle is also acting normal but the flow has become a little scanty than before
. As a therapy I was prescribed Biotin 10 mg/daily by my general physician and having it for past 6 months. But still my hair is falling in an alarming rate .
I have also tried so many cosmetic aids that are currently advertised ,like Livon hair gain tonic,various hair vitalizer.

I am becoming frustrated. Pls ,help.
