Hair fall treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I have seen the attached pictures .
You surely have male pattern hair loss. I would like to tell you that since the hair loss is still in its initial stage, so we can surely expect good results with proper treatment .
As far as the treatment for this condition is concerned , since I deal with allopathic medicines , so I can suggest the same to you.
Since the hair loss is still in its early stage, you need to start proper treatment soon so as to prevent it's further progression .
You need to apply hair 4 u 10 percent lotion one ml twice a day over the affected areas .
You can use any mild shampoo like head and shoulders hair fall control shampoo and conditioner along twice a week.
In addition, you need to take oral biotin 10 mg tablets once a day .
You need to follow the above treatment approach regularly for months together so as to regrow the lost hair and prevent any further progress of hair loss.

Hope it helps

Please ask if you need any further clarifications

Brief Answer:
Medicines for hair loss

Detailed Answer:
Hi again


You can take the tablet anytime , either in the morning after breakfast or at night after meals. But you need to make sure that you take it at the same time everyday .
Also you can continue to take the protein supplements that you are taking. It should not cause any problem in your treatment .
