Can Follihair,diprovate Plus And Anaphase Help To Regain Hair?

Hi Respected Doctors, I am 26 yrs female suffering with severe hair loss. I visited a dermatologist who prescribed me follihair tablets, Diprovate Plus ( tropical solution) & ANAPHASE shampoo. I am taking this treatment from last two months but did not feel any progress or positive effect. Moreover these all medicines are too expensive. i can t afford such expensive medicine s as i am from a normal lower middle class family. I just want to ask you with due respect. Is this treatment is sufficient ? Will i be able to regain my hair in future ? What are the other cheap medicines available in the market that i can take instead of the above mentioned prescribed medicines ? Thanks a ton for a valuable advice.

Hi,

Hair loss can be caused due to various causes in females most commonly are:
1) Tenogen Effluvium due to a preceding stress factor like illness, stress, pregnancy etc
2) Female pattern baldness wherein these is loss of hair over the central portion of scalp

Hair loss treatment is a combination of lifestyle changes (which most people overlook) and medical treatment:
1) Have a healthy diet consisting of lots of fruits and vegetables
2) Drink plenty of water
3) Avoid smoking alcohol
4) Zinc and biotin supplements
5) Use 5% minoxidil (1 ml) morning and night over the scalp for atleast 3 months
6) Reduce Stress

All this will help you control your hair loss

Do follow up with me if any further queries

Dr. Gauri Kshirsagar
