Suggest Alternative To Biotin For Stopping Hair Loss.
I have hypoothyroid disease and have been treated with a radium capsule. I am now on the generic form of synthroid. It has been 8 yrs since diagnosed and I am starting to lose my hair. Is there any treatment I can take other than Biotin as it does not work.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
In addition to biotin for decreasing hair loss, you can use solution containing 5% Minoxidil.
You need to apply this twice daily. Results like decrease in quantity of hair fall can be appreciated by 4 months of its use. Kindly continue its use there after for sustaining the obtained results.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
