Can I Be Recommended Vitamins Alongside Minoxidil For The Cure Of Tuberculosis And Hair Fall?

Hi,
I am an 18year old,Female. I was diagnosed with TB last month and have been on medication and on ATT treatment. I've been experiencing too much hair loss. I've asked my pulmonologist but he has told that the medicines he prescribed do not cause hair fall.
Can you please tell me how can stop my hair fall problem? I've read about Minoxidil. But there are only negative reviews about that everywhere. Please can you recommend me some Vitamins too?

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
For hair fall you you may use Minoxidil topical solution 2% twice daily.
This has to be used continuously for a prolonged time.
Once somebody suffers from tuberculosis ,they become very weak,hence need good nutrition .
Take adequate calories and food comprise of proteins,fats,carbohydrate along with vitamins ,minerals and plenty of water.
You may also use B-protein with added vitamins twice daily with milk.
Hope this answer is OK for you.

Dear Madam,

I think you should take zinc and biotin tablets for hair regrowth . Your hair fall will stop after tuberculosis is cured .
