Brief Answer:
Iron supplimentation,continue with treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Hair loss is a common problem nowadays.

Common causes for hair loss are

1.Dandruff,
2.Stress,
3.Iron and vitamin deficiency,
4.Hormone related which is known as female pattern baldness.

However in my opinion commonest cause in XXXXXXX females for hair loss is iron deficiency. I will advise you to go for haemogram check up and start taking iron supplements accordingly.

Use anti dandruff shampoo like nizral 2% if you have dandruff.

Follihair tablets contain vitamins essential for hair nutrition and you need to continue this for 3 months.

At times minoxidil preparation in early phase causes more hair loss however it will recover accordingly.

In short my final advise will be to continue with treatment and just add iron supplementation and dandruff shampoo after consulting your doctor.Hope this will help you.Take care.
