Can I Take Follihair Medication While Trying To Conceive?
Hi I am planning for getting pregnant in coming months. Due to heavy hair fall i ve been advised from friends to take new New Follihair Tablet 30 S By ABBOTT. Can I start the same.pls advise. Please note I don t have any health challenges and no medical ground.
You are planning for pregnancy. Due to heavy hair fall you have been advised to take Follihair tablets. You should take follihair only if you are not pregnant or not planning for a baby. Since you are planning for a baby, you should switch to healthy lifestyle and healthy diet. Take natural diet that is good for hair like carrots, eggs, walnuts, oats, vitamin C rich food. Taking sweet potatoes, avocados, almonds and salmon will promote hair growth.
Taking follihair when trying to get pregnant or when pregnant is not recommended to prevent potential risk to the fetus. Too much biotin when pregnant, trying to get pregnant or during breast feeding can cause developmental defects in the fetus. Finasteride in Follihair can cause testosterone related disorders in male fetus. You are advised to take natural food to prevent hair falling since you are planning for a baby.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
