Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic Hair loss in PCOD has a hormonal origin. There is an excess of male hormones that are circulating that normally should nt.. These male hormones are responsible for miniaturization and hair loss predominantly from the top of the scalp in females (Female pattern Androgenetic Aopecia) similar to that what is commonly seen in males. Treatment of PCOD is specifically aimed at normalizing the hormonal imbalance with monthly hormonal pills(combination of estrogen and a progestational agent). Once the hormonal balance is normalized the excess male hormones which were acting, no longer do and therefore hair fall is arrested and even reversed. The tablet which you mention contains biotin. Biotin is an added advantage as it promotes hair growth. It also promotes utilization of proteins by hair but it is not specific therapy for hair fall in PCOD. Minoxidil too is not specific to PCOD, it is a non-specific hair growth promoter but it has an added advantage when it is co-administered with specific therapy for PCOD. However, both biotin and minoxidil are absolutely safe to be used in PCOD Regards
