Hello
Thank you for posting at HCM
Yes,follihair tablets are hair growth supplements found effective in reducing hair fall.
But you should treat other causes like dandruff for complete effect.
Use an antifungal shampoo like Fungicide or Salisia-KT while bathing,initially on alternate days for 2 weeks,then twice a week for 2 weeks,then once a week for 2 more weeks.
Apply on wet scalp a moderate amount just enough to cover entire scalp,keep for 5-10 minutes and wash off.
In your cousin's case,she can take follihair tablets but the thyroid and sugar problems have to be properly treated as they can also contribute to hair loss.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
