Severe Hair Fall After Aclasta Infusion. Tried Minoxadil, Had Side Effects. Treatment For Hair Loss?

I had Aclasta infusion in March. My hair started falling out in May and has continued to do so. Will this stop? Will my hair regrow? Is there any treatment for this? Have tried Minoxadil but had side effects. I understand that 12% of people experience this problem. The hair loss has spread from the front of my hair to all over the crown.

yes, hair fall can be due to ur aclasta infusion.but it will not take two months to manifest the side effect.usally drug induced hair fall will be temporary and reversible.i think u are suffering from androgenic alopecia .
androgenic alopecia i due to decreased enzyme which converts testosterone into active activre form in the hair follicle.it starts first in thse temple area,then frontal and then the crown.it raraly effects occipteal area,
MINOXIDIL IS DRUG OF CHOICE BUT AS U HAVE SIDE EFFECTS GO FOR Q-SERA WHERE YOU WILL HAVE VISIBLE HAIR GAIN WITHIN 20 DAYS
