How Can Hair Loss And Dandruff Be Treated?

I am having hair loss and presently the density of hair has reduced compared to what i used to have 3 years ago. I have taken Dr Batra medicine for one year (though i could not follow them strictly) in 2013 but it had no effect. No one in my family has hair loss problem. I am having dandruff problem in winters only too. Does my hair problem has permanent solution. I dont want to loose hair. please help.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Common causes of hair fall include androgenic androgenic alopecia, fungal infection, nutritional deficiency, alopecia areata, and cancer chemo/radiotherapy. Treatment depends upon the cause, but the most common cause in young male is androgenic alopecia and unfortunately no reliable treatment medicine is available. Minoxidil promotes hair growth in some but not in all and it becomes ineffectual ultimately as in your case.
Advice
1.     Minoxidil gel 5% (Tugain gel) – 1 mL twice daily for 4 months
2.     Continue Hairbless tablet as suggested
3.     High protein and vitamin rich diet such as eggs, meat, vegetables, cheese etc
4.     Do not take much tension as anxiety/depression aggravates hair loss
5.     Hair transplantation is also an option for you
For dandruff
2.     Apply Scalpe shampoo twice weekly for 2 months
