Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Hair growth passes to various phases and at one stage more hair may be falling then usual. In case you are getting bald then you need to worry.

Every medicine has a side effect and should be taken only under medical supervision. I suggest that you consult a dermatologist before starting the medicines.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi,

You are having severe hair fall.

There are many causes of hair fall.

Do you have androgenetic alopecia?

If yes, then your uncle's advised drugs will improve the disease.

If it is not AGA, then the the cause should be found out.

Then, the disease is called telogen effluvium.

It may be due to many factors.

Stress, anaemia,vitamin and mineral deficiencies,thyroid and other endocrinal dysfunctions,and many other internsl diseases, drugs..etc may cause telogen effluvium.

Actually, you should consult dermatologist, after thorough examinations and investigations, he will start treatment...ok

Every drug has side effects,so without doctors' advice, nobody should take any drug... Ok

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
