Brief Answer:
Hair loss in women

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are experiencing hair loss and you are wondering if your medication is the cause. the answer is no. None of your medications are associated with hair loss. I would recommend that you try using Rogaine shampoo. It will help with your hair loss but to make it effective you must use it daily and not stop. The minute you stop you will start to lose your hair again.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions

Brief Answer:
Rogaine

Detailed Answer:
If you start using rogaine and you see an improvement then you will need to use the rogaine forever. If you don't notice anything then you can stop at any time. It will take about 2 months of daily use to see a difference.
