Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain in case Fefol contains iron and folic acid and is given in low iron level patients..
It can cause some level of gastric irritation but it is not necessary for all to get it..
You can continue taking the same and in case if you experience an discomfort consult your treating Physician and get evaluated..
Along with taking this supplement you should also apply 2%Minoxidil lotion over the scalp..
You can also massage your scalp using Olive oil or coconut oil..
Wash your hairs with mild shampoo every alternate day..
You can also take a nutritious diet, add green leafy vegetables and fruits in diet..
Avoid rubbing or scrubing the hairs vigorously..
Limit stress by meditation and breathing exercises as it also cause hairfall..
Drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
