Suggest Medication For Hypothyroid And Hair Loss

I suffer from hypothyroid, and have pcos. I suspect that the two are playing havoc in my system, and are the cause for my excessive hair fall.

I am of healthy weight, and take 100 mmg of eltroxin for my thyroid condition.
No other medications.

Would foletene help?

Btw I'm 38.

Hello, if you are on 100 mcg levothyroxine, it is enough to help you keep your TSH in normal limits.
You must be having andrgenetic alopecia. Try biotin containing tablets and if not helping , conisder taking some antiandrogens like finasteride
Hope it helped you
