Brief Answer:
Following medication need to be taken for three months for better results.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I understand your query and concern.

Hair loss is a normal phenomenon following delivery, So you need not worry since your ferritin count is within normal limits.

Folihair is a biotin containing capsules which is very much useful for hair growth.

I also advise you to take Tab. Conviron forte once daily for three months, Folihair twice daily for three months,zincovit syp ,multivitamin capsules.

NOTE: These drugs to be taken under strict prescription of your doctor.

Protein rich diet like egg,pulses,milk, dates etc need to be taken.

Hope I have answered your query at the moment.

Post your further query if any,

Thank you.

But this is not something which happened after delivery I had this hair thinning before 4-5 years and had recovered after taking biotin and iron supplements.And post delivery again thinning started .Now my baby is already 2 years and still I have hair thinning. So shall I take the above mentioned tablets directly or should I consult a tricologyst before proceeding.

Brief Answer:
Hair fall is a recurrent problem,needs regular replenishment of vitamins.

Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome again,

Hair loss is a recurrent phenomenon,so you need to use the above medication for 3 months every year.

Since all the above medication are purely vitamin capsules,you can take as and when needed.

As hair loss is related to stress and blood loss ,there is loss of all the minerals and vitamins that are related to hair growth,so you need yearly replenishment.

Do not worry.Also avoid undue stress,take protein rich diet.

Avoid dandruff.You can also use Nizoral shampoo weekly once.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
