Suggest Medication For Hair Fall
I am facing excessive hair fall, about 600 strands a day. I always had thick hair, but within couple of months I have lost it all. I touch my hair and bunches come out. I have not been sick/stressed or anything. Only to delay my periods I took Primoult N in december for 2 days just 1 tablet each . And my periods have been regular after I stopped taking it. Else what can be the possible reason and how do I solve this? I did not change my water (drinking and bathing), I am living in Delhi for 4 years.im really in tension and don t know what to do.please help

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hair fall is always multifaceted: genetics / hereditary / poor lifestyle/ poor diet / stress/ weather changes / usage of poor hair products/ dandruff/ hormonal changes to name a few. I suggest you get a panel of blood works done to assess your Hb, ferritin, Vitamins D, B12, etc to name a few. In the interim, you can start Minoxidil 5% once at night daily, for a minimum of 7-9 months. This will stimulate new hair growth. Also you can do PRP (platelet rejuvenated plasma) treatment where your own blood plasma is injected into your scalp once every 4-5 weeks, which further stops hair fall and stimulates new hair growth. Subsequently, start with multivitamins with biotin in it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
