Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Hair fall could be due to:
•     Androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness in which the hair loss is gradual and progressive and mainly from frontal, temporal and crown area.
•     telogen effluvium hair fall is diffuse and acute due to surgery, stress, illness, nutritional deficiency etc
•     localised causes of hair fall like severe dandruff, psoriasis etc

I would like to know
•     since how long are you having hair fall
•     how are you using these medication, dosing etc
•     if the doctor prescribed or its a self prescription
•     pattern of hair fall
•     if you are still continuing with minoxidil.
•     any history of illness, surgery, nutritional disorder, anemia, thyroid disorder
•     history of baldness in family.

Minoxidil as such has minor side effects of redness, irritation and stinging over scalp seen in few cases. Otherwise it is safe.
Kindly answer these queries and we may carry our discussion further.
Take care

Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
You seem to be suffering from androgenetic alopecia.
For better results I would like to make few changes in your prescription.
Use minoxidil aminexil combination 5%(coverit ax, hair4u, amexidil etc) 1ml twice in a day over scalp. You may stop your serum. Apart from minoxidil we may add capixyl gel once in a day for better response. Capixyl is a peptide based product and said to act at stem cell level.
stop tablet folica as folic acid has not much role in hair fall. Tablet Novophane is a hair supplement containing vitamins and minerals can be continued, though it does not have much role in androgenetic alopecia but we usually give a hair supplement for better growth. If possible also start tablet androanagen once in a day as it offers benefit in male pattern baldness.

Initially mioxidil in first few month can induce slight hair fall as it leads to shedding of telogen hair( resting phase hair that were supposed to fall spontaneously) and promotes growth of anagen hair(growth phase hair). So you need not worry.
The above suggested treatment is in sync with standard guidelines of male pattern baldness managenment. So you may start the treatment suggested without any worries.
Hope that helped.
take care
