Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Heavy hair fall of few months duration is because of telogen effluvium. This is usually triggered by stress physical or psychological which precedes the hair fall by 3 to 4 months. The stress could be illness like severe fever, accident, delivery, surgery etc or even psychological stress like job stress, shifting place, death in family etc etc. VB7Forte is a good treatment for telogen effluvium. You may continue it for 3 months. Rule out anemia and hypothyroidism by doing blood tests Hemoglobin and TSH as these can cause telogen effluvium. If you are not finding results in 3 months you should consult a dermatologist practicing trichology.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
