Having severe hair fall. Prescribed cobadex forte and monoxil 5%. Is this medication okay?

Thanks for posting your query.
The thinning of the hairs that you are having is likely to be related to a dietary deficiency and stress. The treatment that you are getting- a multivitamin and Minoxidil lotion is likely to help with your problem.
The thin texture of hairs reflects the nutritional status of a person.
You can follow some simple measures to help your hairs grow better -
1. Take a high protein diet. You can also apply raw egg on your hairs one hour before washing them for good lusture and to cover the damaged parts.
2. Take iron and zinc supplements.
3. Avoid exposure to direct sun for long durations.
4. Keep your hairs covered outdoors to avoid damage from dust , etc.
5. Take high doses of vitamin B6 and folic acid.
6. Stay away from stress and anxiety.
7. Scalp massage- A vigorous rubbing of the scalp with fingers is one of the most effective method for the prevention and treatment of hair loss. The scalp should be rubbed vigorously till it starts to tingle with the heat. It will activate the sebaceous glands

I will follow your advice. I have two more questions :
1. Do you know if i will have back again a THICKER hair or my hair will always grow thiner?
2. How long its gone take approximately to see the change : thicker hair and more hair?
Thank you very much.
Thanks for writing again.
Yes with good diet and supplements you can get back your thick hairs. If you are genetically having a thin hair since your birth then it is difficult to alter the texture of your hairs.
It will take at least 8 weeks of regular treatment for the results to show.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.

MD I am facing hair loss for the past 24 months, lost some hair on the center and front of the head. I consulted a doctor and he suggested to use foltene pharma hair rejuvenator supplement with keraglo men tablet. I used it for 2 months and the result was very good. The hair loss stopped rapidly and also dandruff disappeared. It was good for 2-3 months and again the hair fall increased.
