Hi & Welcome to HCM.

Incomplete data: Gender, duration of present problem, any associated disease, etc.

I appreciate your concern for the safety of the prescribed medication.
Yes, Klosh F can be taken for the treatment of hair fall.

It is a natural product containing multivitamins claimed to be effective in preventing the hair fall.

However, as a matter of fact hair loss can be caused by a number of conditions the most common being "male pattern baldness" (androgenetic alopecia), deficiency states of vitamins and minerals, hormonal disorders, liver diseases, dandruff and stress.

So, to be effective a cause should be suspected and detected if possible.
Then depending upon the cause the treatment should be prescribed.

The Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) has so far approved ONLY 2 drugs Minoxidil and Finasteride for the treatment of hair loss caused by androgenetic alopecia.

I therefore advice you to consult a dermatologist for proper checkup and to find out any underlying cause for your hair fall and its proper treatment.

Hope to have answered your query.
