Thanks for contacting with your health concern
1. Although this has not been considered as a serious side effect [doctor- patient perspective may differ] because no one knows how common is this complication so in your case it could be because of two reasons:
i. ADR [adverse drug reaction] of the drug
ii. Aging hair: as the age advances our body is unable to renew and regenerate cells as quickly as when one is younger. [with age growth rate of hair decreases with substantial balding/thinning]
2. Consult your attending physician/Cardiologist for any suitable better alternative and check for health conditions associated with hair loss in the elderly like underactive
thyroid,
iron deficiency anemia,
diabetes, poor nutrition.
3. you should talk with your doctor to know whether hair loss is due to the ADR [adverse drug reaction] of the drug or is there any underlying secondary cause:
hormonal or
fungal infection of the
scalp.
4. In the meantime, some dietary and lifestyle changes which you can incorporate into your daily activities are:
. take high protein diet
. for hair bath, do not use very hot water.
. comb hair when they are dry, Wet hair is weak.
. dry the hair naturally, avoid blow dryer and strong heat.
. cover hair while traveling in the sun or on a scooter.
. Soap nut and shikakai along with Bhringraj and Neelini oil act as a natural conditioner and you can use it safely.
PS. Initially one can start with Immunomodulation [Rasayan Chikitsa] Treatment and later restore to non- surgical hair replacement.
