Hi,

I can understand your concern for hair loss. You have been given good treatment regarding the hair fall. The gel contains minoxidil as an active content.

THis is the mainstay of treatmetn for the hair fall. The only problem with the gel is that it gives bit dryness oer the scalp and dry hair. FOr that you should use the minimum amount requred as directed by your dermatologist.

Do not try to overapply the medication as it can cause irritation.

Do follow good diet with lot of proteins in your diet which will help in regrowth faster.

Hope it helps.
