Can Tugain And Zincovit Be Advisable For Hair Loss?

Hi, I have been facing Hair fall issue since 6 years, and i noticed that crown areas is getting slightly bald. Hence, I have consulted a doctor 6 months ego where she suggested to use Tugain 5% Minoxid and VB7 Hiar tabs, i dont see any minor results as of now (applied tugain 1 time daily). After that again I have consulted another doctor explained everything and again he suggest to use Tugain 5% Minoxid with Zincovit multivitamin tabs, he says use course till 6 months. So, my question is how much time will it take to prevent hair fall and will these medicines (tugain and zincovit) helps really ?

You are most probably suffering from androgenetic alopecia which a inherited condition with transition of large, thick, pigmented terminal hairs to thinner, shorter, indeterminate hairs and finally to short, wispy, nonpigmented vellus hairs and finally to baldness...Minoxidil is the only time tested and FDA approved drug for the condition...But it has slow effect and take 6-12 months for full effect...As you said that you have slight bladness so it will take a long time to show an apparent effect...i advice you to apply it twice a day daily over the affected area...VB7 is a hair vitamin supplement you can also continue it...
