Suffering From Hair Loss Problem

Hi,
2 days before i went to Sehat Clinic (Chennai, India) for hair loss problem. The doctor witnessed me and prescribed two tablets named "Nano Hair Revitalizer & VB7 Forte". I have not yet started taking those tablets, i have a question whether is there any side effects taking those tablets?
Please answer my question..
Thanks,

Dermatologist 's  Response
Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic!

Your details have been evaluated and I find that certain vital details are missing.
If I were your dermatologist, I would have asked you detailed history, examined you and the affected hairs, got some investigations done to substantiate your diagnosis. Most common causes of hair loss are telogen effluvium in which there is diffuse hair loss from all over scalp and the other one is Androgen alopecia in which hair loss in men would be more apparent on the front and side of head initially.
These two are common causes but other diseases have to be ruled out by history and examination.

In my opinion, it is recommended that first a diagnosis is made and then proper treatment is instituted. I request you to provide the other required details so that your hair can be as healthy as those of normal person of your age.

In the meantime, please avoid massaging too vigorously, have a healthy diet, adequate rest, and use a mild shampoo once or twice a week. This will surely aid in early recovery.

Best wishes.
