Hi!,

Thank you for posting the query,

I understood your problem however it would be good if you can answer few of my queries,since there are lot of medicines and lotions available for hair loss ,but I would like to know what type of hair loss you are having.
1) Is your hair loss diffuse ?
2) Do you have any coin shaped patches over scalp ?
3) Do you have thyroid problem ?
4) Did you have any illness few months back ?
5) Approximately how many hair are you loosing an a day?
6) Any family history of similar patter of hair loss as yours ?

If you can answer my questions I would be able to suggest you better.

How ever following medicines can be tried for hair loss,but results of the same would depend upon what type of hair loss you have.
1) Minoxidil solution
2) Tab Finestride (1mg) daily once .
3) Tab Biotin (10mg) daily once .

You can first try minoxidil sol 10% topically directly applied to scalp for a month and then later on shift to 5% solution. Along with this there are medicines like finestride 1 mg & biotin which are helpful .Before taking this you should be under a regular guidance of a dermatologist .These are very effective medicine but has to be taken for long time. Apart from this there are lasers for hair growth (FDA APPROVED) which needs to be taken for initial 2 months .It has amazing results. Then there is MESO-THERAPY which are tiny injections which are directly given on the scalp for growth.

Medicines have a temporarily role to play if one has familiail hair loss( also known as androgenetic alopecia).
In case you have already lost hair and are suffering from baldness then you can go for hair transplantation. Hair transplantation being a permanent method for treating baldness.

Improve your diet with XXXXXXX leafy veg, fresh fruits, plenty of water, pulses, high protein diet, avoid items with high sugar content like sweets & chocolates, less of Chinese foods, less of pizza & burgers ,take more of milk & ghee & dry fruits . Good sleep also has a important role to play .

Hope this answers your query,but if you can reply to my above questions probably I can guide you better.

Awaiting for your reply.

Regards,
