Brief Answer:
Stopping Regaine will increase hairfall manifold.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.
* Regaine (minoxidil) enhances hair growth but if ever stopped, it increases hairfall manifold. So, you might reconsider using it unless you are certain that you would like to continue it till the end of your life.
* Revilus and CPink contain biotin and certain other vitamins and minerals. They are nonspecific and their benefits might not always be certain.

If I had a patient like you I would have suggested not to go for such medicines. However, you would have to make your own choice.

Hi sir,
Thanks for your quick response.
Now it makes sense for instability of my hairfall. Definitely i don't want to take it for my whole life. Can you advise me better methods to improve my condition ? Can you suggest me any biotin supplements instead? Or any natural medications to follow?

Brief Answer:
Hair weaving therapy should be useful for you.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. You need to understand that there is a genetic factor behind the hairfall and it is really no use fighting it. Medicines, natural or synthetic, would not really help. Revilus is a good biotin supplement. However, unless you have biotin deficiency, taking it will not offer you any benefits.

You can go for hair transplant or hair weaving. They might be a bit expensive but the effect is stable.
