Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a concern about hair loss. I am female, 78 yrs. old and notice thinning or breaking of my hair on my head. The only drug that I have been taking for any length of time is gabapentin (400 mg) one tablet twice a day for neuropathy. This or another suggestion?
