Hi!,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
You need proper investigations like ,Hb,serum iron level,thyroid profile,hormonal profile etc.Tugain is alright,but usually 5% is not given for long in females ,as it can cause facial hair growth.Irregular periods is an important cause of hair loss in females.Take care of your diet too & no crash dieting.Take lot of sprouts, proteins,green leafy vegetables,8-10 glasses of water & good sleep.Avoid Chinese food,burgers,pizza, sweets and fried foods.So for investigations you need to consult a dermatologist soon.
Take care,
Dr.Chawda
