Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic!
Yes you can Trichoton forte. It is a mineral and vitamion supplement used to treat hair loss.
But for effective control of hair loss, you need to know whether you have telogen effluvium or hereditary hair loss which can be done with a scalp biopsy and a hair pull test.
Topical minoxidil can be used for hair growth.
Discuss with your dermatologist before using it.
