General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Hair fall occurs due to many reasons. There is no clinical evidence to prove the benefits of Biotin in preventing hair loss. Improving your overall diet by adding whole grains, green leafy vegetables and fruits can be beneficial. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist if the problem worsens.
Thanks
