Can take adgain.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Adgain is a multivitamin supplement, you can definitely take it with PCOD.
PCOD is a condition of hormonal imbalance, leading to irregular cycles.
You should have a complete diagnosis with -
Pelvic ultrasound scan.
Hormonal levels - FSH, LH, TSH, OGTT, DHEAS, Free testosterone, Lipid profile.
Metformin also should be taken for symptom control.
Weight loss is critical if you are overweight.
All the best

Thank you Doctor. The reason I asked is bcos I understand adgain helps hair growth. since I had facial hair earlier (removed by laser) bcos of pcod I had this fear if adgain induces hair growth in other parts of the body. I wanted to reconfirm since I read elsewhere that adgain could possibly induce body hair growth.
Thanks for your time and patience. will definitely do the above mentioned tests

Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
Adgain is a multivitamin.
It promotes overall vitality of hair.
THe facial hair growth in PCOD is because of excessive androgenic hormones.
Adgain will not affect that.
It will just strengthen normal hair , mainly scalp hair.
I assume you want to take it for hair loss from the scalp, right ?

Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
You can exercise regularly and eat well, lots of protein.
Also, take multivitamins ( Adgain for example ).
Avoid stress.
Keep hair scrupulously clean and healthy.
Oil overnight and wash off the next day.
Wash hair frequently with herbal powders or a good shampoo ( Sebamed if you have oily hair ).
Keep it trimmed and avoid split ends.
For frontal balding, if it is very severe, you can consult a dermatologist for hair weaving in that area.
Take care.
