Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

For hair fall use minoxidil lotion daily at bed time and biotin based multivitamin pills daily. Effect of these medications is seen in 3 to 6 months and hair fall will start again if you stop these medication at any time. Along with above mentioned medications get serum vitamin D3 levels , serum iron level and thyroid profile test done and get treated accordingly as vitamin D deficiency , iron deficiency and thyroid disease can also leads to increased hair fall. If hairs continues to fall despite of above mentioned measures than 5 alpha reductase inhibitor medications help.
No need to use Clonate cream .
