Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like:

1. Androgenic Aloepecia or Pattern baldness caused due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics.

2.Other causes comes under Telogen Efluvium caused by fungal infection,nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines..

The medications that you are taking that is Amexidil 5 containing Minoxidil and Amenexil works by improving blood flow to the scalp and reduces hairfall and on persistent use can help in hairgrowth...
Folifast contains Salicylic acid that is a Keratolytic agent..
Skinvit tablets contains nutritional supplement..
These medications are appropriate for reducing hairloss and promoting hairgrowth..

As your hairfall is stopped, you should consider it a good sign and relax..
As far as hair growth is concerned it is a time taking procedure and will occur gradually with formation of new hair follicles and their gradual growth..

You should however consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assy, blood tests, trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..

You can be advised to continue with theabove medication although the concentration of Minoxidil can be increased from 5% to 7.5% or 10%.
You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements..
You can also be advised to take Finesteride orally if there is androgenic aloepecia as it suppresses androgens..
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..

You can also discuss about latest techniques PLATELET RICH PLASMA and MESOTHERAPY.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
