Having severe hair fall. Prescribed cobadex forte and monoxil 5%. Is this medication okay?
Answered by
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 taking Prograf 7 mg bid as I had a liver transplant on July 21/13. I was searching side effects of prograf and notice alopecia is one of them. I am losing more hair than normal and have noticed patchy spots on my scalp. Besides lowering the dose, any other recommendations for limiting hair loss?
MD I am 56. I was on Topamax (100 mgs bid) for about 8 months and began to experience excessive hair loss during hair washings. The hair is coming out at the root and thinning in a generalized fashion (no round bald spots). I dc'd the med early in Sept. but the hair loss continues. I would say I have currently lost close to 40% of my hair. My hair also seems to have stopped growing. My questions are 1) when will the abnormal hair loss discontinue and
2) when is regrowth likely? Thank you for your time

I am suffering from hair loss at the top of my head (Female 28yrs old), and also mild shedding all over my head. My Trichologist said Is TE and Androgenic Alopecia. My iron levels were 42 (UK levels), and she gave vitamins that contain iron (86mg a day). Isn't that too much iron?
