Posted on Mon, 29 Jun 2015
Question: Sir,

I am facing with problem of Hair loss. I consulted a dermatologist last Nov'14. She suggested me following medications-
1) Keraglo men ( a multivit, multinutrition tab)--> 1 daily
2) Finalo tab 1 mg (Finasteride tab )---> 1 daily
3) Minoken lotion 5%--> 1ml morning and night
4) combination of Keratex oil, 5 mg Placentrex injection+ momate lotion ---> mixing all and use daily after bath

i used this treatment for 3 months and i found huge improvement with no hair fall.
then i stopped for 2 months,,,and again they started falling....now since 20 days i am taking same medications but no improvement.
Kindly suggest.

Brief Answer:
hair loss and treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query.
I understand your concern.
Your doctor has given you a very good prescription. Minoxidil 5 percent is considered as the best treatment for Androgenetic alopecia or Male pattern Baldness. I guess you must be having the patterned hair loss characterised by loss of hair mainly involving temporal and parietal area of scalp.
Your doctor must have told you that you need to continue minoxidil for long under his supervision. Actually hair regrowth takes around three months to start. That is why when you started treatment last time , you found visible results after 90 days. And once you stop using Minoxidil, hair returns to original state within 8-9months of stopping minoxidil.
Tablet keraglo and finasteride also need to be continued for long.
injection placenterex and momate lotion are short term treatment decided on the basis of the response of the patient.
You should revisit your doctor so that he can do hair analysis and give you prescription accordingly.
I hope it helps.
Stay healthy.

Sir/Madam,

Thanks for quick response.
Currently i am facing with pattern 2 type of baldness that also in initial stage. Because of some reasons it wont be possible for me to meet my doctor for atleast 2 month.
In the mean while shall i continue with the same prescription?

Also suggest about whether it is good to continue with the using combination of (Keratax oil+ 5 no placantrex inj. + Momate lotion) daily or shall i use normal hair oil only?

Regards.

Detailed Answer:
Its my pleasure to help you here.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have started you on minoxidil 5 percent lotion, finasteride tablet, multivitamins.
Here on this platform I can only advice you but cannot prescribe you. All these medications have their own side effects whicch a doctor needs to evaluate for time to time.
It would be better for you to first consult your doctor then only start the medications.
I hope I am able to solve your query.
Take care.
