Brief Answer:
HAIR FALL AND DRUG INDUCED GASTRITIS

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

Androanagen Tablet is commonly used to treat hair loss and it contains multiple minerals and amino acids like Calcium pantothenate,pyridoxine,taurine,arginine Cyanocobalamin,Chromium,Copper,Selenium,Manganese,Zinc and green tea extract etc.

It is not possible to tell that exactly which micro nutrient is responsible for reflux and gastritis.But yes.....though overall it is a well tolerated drug but has some side effects like dry mouth,gastritis,stomach upset,diarrhea and dyspnoea (difficulty in breathing).
If these side effects are severe and very trouble some,I would advise you to see your dermatologist.He can write an alternative remedy or you can continue with Minoxidil only.

You can use androanagen solution locally,instead of tablets.
It is as effective as tablets and is devoid of any side effects.

Androanagen is really very rewarding in management of androgenic or hereditary alopecia.
It prevents biotin deficiency,increases scalp blood supply,replenishes micro nutrients required for hair growth,strengthens hair shaft,promotes hair growth and prevent hair loss.

If you want to continue with tablets,you can manage the acid peptic symptoms by changing dietary habits like taking small,frequent meals instead of 3 major meals,avoiding fatty and greasy foods,abstaining from tea,coffee,spices and alcohol,avoiding long periods of fasting,being physically active and having a good night sleep with head elevated by around 35 degrees.
Your doctor can add a PPI drug like Pantoprazole 40mg to relive your symptoms.

A holistic approach with life style modifications works best for hair treatment.

1.Have a healthy nourishing diet with plentiful raw veggies and fruits.
2.Have a diet rich in proteins like lean meat,almonds and eggs.
3.De stress yourself-may be by yoga,meditation,listening music etc.
Learn relaxation techniques.
4.Have a good night sleep of 8 hours.
5.Take a vitamin B-complex supplement.
6.Shampoo your hair bi weekly and always keep them clean.
7.Get your dandruff treated immediately(if applies)
8.Use topical vitamin A (tretinoin) Solution.
9.Massage your scalp once a week preferably with almond oil to increase blood flow to the follicles.
10.Avoid hard massages and sauna.
11Avoid hair dryers.
12Let the hair dry,before combing.
13Rosemary essential oil is said to be good for hair follicles.
14Biotin is produced in healthy gut flora but you can also find it in many foods like eggs,almond,sweet potato and salmon fish.Increase their intake.
15.Have yogurt or commercially available probiotics.

Hope that I have answered your query.
If you have any doubts,please let me know.
Happy living.
Best regards.

Brief Answer:
Androanagen for hair loss

Detailed Answer:
Hi.....
If you are not able to digest milk,you can have soy milk because it has different protein and sugar constituents.
If you can't tolerate soy milk or yogurt too,you can have fortified bread,cereals,tofu,pulses, spinach,other green leafy vegetables,almonds, coconut milk,fishes like salmon,fortified juices, eggs and other alternatives to replenish calcium,vitamin D and proteins.

There are no serious side effects of androanagen except allergic reaction and stomach upset.
But excess of everything is bad.
Though there are no clear protocols regarding this but I would advise you to give a break of six months and see the response of the body. Hypertrichosis i.e unwanted growth of hair including facial hair have been observed with Androanagen overuse.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Kind regards.
