What Is The Remedy For Hair Loss?

Hair loss is an issue for me. My Dr.said it is female pattern baldness and said to take iron supplement. He said he didn't want to check my medications because changing them might be worse than having thin hair. I take Levothroxine 125 mg, Losartan 25 mg; Lovastatin 40 mg; atenolol 25 mg (1/2 tab); metformin 850 mg 3xday and Acarbose 50 mg 3xday. If I lower theLevothroxine (test shows .03) will I have even more difficulty losing weight and would I be tired?
Thanks

Well thyroid medications are not the cause of your hair loss anyways. I want you to use a topical stem cell solution at night on front scalp. It is called kairfoll or if you get something equivalent. Don't worry. Your medications are not causing hair loss your stress is.
