1. Since you are under supervision thus your doctor must have excluded possible causes of hair loss and dandruff and thereafter prescribed accordingly.

PS. MPB [male pattern baldness/androgenic alopecia although is related to gene and male sex hormone but a skin biopsy, blood tests, or other procedures may be needed to diagnose other disorders that cause hair loss.

PS. You need to Consult a Trichologist for your hair loss to rule out any other pathology, who will make sure that you are not affected with any fungal infection of the scalp [eczema/psoriasis or seborrhea dermatitis ]

2. Since the said drug combination is used as a conditioning agent thus consult a Dermatologist to find the underlying cause and then treat accordingly.

PS. It is presented in 100 ml presentation and initially you have to apply it 'once' daily and later thrice a week and local skin manifestation such as eryhtema,rash,pruritus are local side effects

3.
i. Avoid too much exposure to sun.
ii. Avoid high extremes of temperature
iii. After bath make sure you avoid vigorous toweling of hair, let them dry naturally.
iv. Make less choice for synthetic hair oils, hair coloring, bleaching, styling and use of dry blowers.
v. Avoid excessive exposure to sun, heat, wind, dust, anger, stress, anxiety,
vi. Avoid oily, fried, spicy, hot, fermented and stale food.
vii. Proteins are essential for antibodies production so milk, egg (white), beans, yogurt, soymilk, pumpkin, squash,watermelon,peanuts,almonds, if non-vegetarian (meat) are choices .
viii. Mango, carrots, cantaloupe, egg yolk, apricots, pumpkin, papaya, are ideal
ix. Vitamin C: is needed for proper functioning of immune system: amla is good option.
x. Vitamin E: is a powerful anti oxidant thus peanuts, dried apricots, cooked spinach taro root can be taken
xi. Soap nut (reetha) and shikakai along with Bhringraj and Neelini oil acts as natural conditioner and you can use it safely.
