Detailed answer
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Combination of minoxidil and multi vitamins generally works well.
I would like to know since when you are taking the medications you have mentioned?
It is important to know as anti hair fall medications need time to show their effect.
Stem cell therapy is a temporary measure.
Its effective but response last only for few months.
It is very costly.
I would not recommend you to go for it.
Let me know the details of your medications so I can help you better.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
