Hello.
This is the side effect of anti tubercular drugs. It cause alopecia.
I would recommend a few home remedies that will help you to stop hair loss and regrow the hair you have lost.

A few home remedies you can try.

Arnica rejuvenates your scalp and stimulates the hair follicles (from the first application, itself), helping to strengthen your hair and preventing it from falling prematurely.

Cochlearia armoracia increases blood flow to the skin and prevents hair loss. It helps to regenerate the hair roots by improving circulation to the scalp thereby preventing premature hair loss. For best results apply it as a mixture with vinegar.

Vitamin C is important for the synthesis of collagen which is essential for hair growth. Foods rich in vit C are citrus fruits, Green tea, cheese etc.

I hope this helps

Thanks
