Hair Fall. Using Nisim Hair Stimulating Extract, Increased Hair Fall. Treatment?

My hair s falling like crazy, I started using Nisim hair stimulating extract and my hair started falling more after 2 weeks usage so I stopped using it but now the speed of hairfall is still very high like it was never before. Before the use of this product my hair used to fall but not like this. I lose more than 200 hair strands per day and I think I'll go bald soon:( I'm 30 year old female.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
You are having Acute Telogen effluvium according to your description. It is a hair loss pattern usually triggered by a physical stress like viral fever, typhoid fever, hepatitis, pregnancy etc or mental stress which you would have had about 3 - 6 months prior to onset of hair fall.
It could also be due to underlying anemia and thyroid abnormalities.
You need to check your hemoglobin levels, serum ferritin levels and thyroid status. It is better to see a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.
I went through the ingredients of Nisim hair stimulating extract and it seems fine. It is unlikely that the fall is due to it. You may continue the same.
Please have a diet including green leafy vegetables, eggs, milk.
