Hi, I can understand your concern for hair loss. Hair fall can be due to any long term illness or any emotional or stressful event and due to nutritional deficiency or hormonal influence. I can make out that you have basically hormonal influence and accordingly you have been prescribed the best treatment in form of minoxidil lotion. You can use it under dermatological supervision and there is no harm if used in proper guidance. If I were your dermatologist then would have prescribed you tablet containing Acetylcysteine, Calcium Pantothenate, Selenium, Zinc, Biotin, Copper as active ingredients. You can take these vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes. Take care.
