Hello doc, Thanks for query. Stress induced hairfall is called as telogen effluvium and it is a self repairable condition which takes 4-6 months once the stress is over... Minoxidil(mintop) is only time tested and FDA approved drug for the hairfall,,but it has slow onset of action and takes 6-12 months for full effect and thats too if applied on a dialy basis.. Serums rich in peptides can be tried but there penetration into the scalp is a issue also they are not approved mode of treatment,,you can give a try for 3-6 months... I advice you to continue with the mintop lotion and look if there is any other reason for your hairfall Get your thyroid profile and haemoglobin done which if derranged may lead to hair loss Take a good diet rich in protein and all vitamins and minerals if thats not possible due to the hectic schedule take a good hairvitamin like follihair or VB7 cap once daily after food.. hope this would help,,,,thanks.
