Hi.
As per your case history of hair fall, my treatment advice is -
1. Hair loss is your case is due to stopping minoxidil.
2. There as as such no side effects of topical minoxidil, so you can continue its use. Stopping it abruptly will again cause hair fall.
3. Continue Morr-f and take a follihair tablet once daily for 3 months.

Thanks.
