Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Yes this is due to the side effect and it mostly happens when there is more than usual thyroid hormone in body (either due to hyperthyroidism, or due to medications as in your case).


You need to go for some tests:
Thyroid Profile Test

Take this report, and upload in a follow up (if you need). I will help you out in detail and may be I may suggest adjustment of your medications dosage. Tell me your age, height, weight, waist circumference too. Do you have any scalp disease like dandruff etc?

Start with Minoxidil spray on affected areas. Take Perfectil capsule for hair nails and skin. It will help you a lot.

Hope I answered all of your questions. Have a wonderful time ahead. Keep in touch for a follow-up too.

Regards!
