Hi and welcome to HCM
Before advising any further treatment, I would like to know if you have always been in Mumbai or recently shifted your location. Did you fall sick before you started having hairfall? Any history of other medication or family history of similar hairloss? Do you have any other symptoms, menstrual problems?
If your hair fall has not improved I would advise you to first check your blood levels for hemoglobin, iron levels and TSH. These can affect your hair growth and need to be corrected first.
In the mean time you can continue biotin tablets daily. Use Anaphase shampoo or Renocia shampoo regularly. Apply the serum at night.
Once you check the blood tests further treatment options can be looked at.
Eat a nutritious diet, get rest and avoid stress and pollution for your hair and skin to be healthy.
