Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.

I would like to gather more information from you in regard to your query.

-Is the problem only confined to the monsoon season? Is it normal rest of the times?
-How many hair do you lose per day?Approx. number, is it 100?
-Is the hair loss severe enough to cause visible thinning?
-Do you also suffer from dandruff?
-Is there any history of thyroid dysfunction? Have you ever been tested for it?
-Is the hair loss from all over the scalp or is it more from the crown/central part of the scalp?

Brief Answer:
Hair fall treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Seasonal hair fall is an issue in some individuals.

You may take an oral Biotin supplement once daily for a month e.g Tab Revilus (marketed by dr.Reddy's pharma in India) Or Tab. Proanagen (marketed by Curatio pharma in India).

You may also apply Folica Medicinial hair Tincture, once every alternate night, in the scalp.

Since dandruff is also responsible for increased hair shedding. I would suggest an antidandruff shampoo e.g Triatop 2% solution, every alternate days. Apply Folica tincture, the night before and shampoo it off next day.

Hair fall treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

No side effects. Folica can cause a slight burning sensation in the scalp for 1-2 minutes, don't let it trickle on face.

Triatop solution/shampoo is for dandruff. It contains 2% ketoconazole (marketed by XXXXXXX and johnson). Nizral 2% shampoo is also an OTC ketoconazole based shampoo.
