You would need to get examined for other causes of hair loss in that case if there isn't much improvement. Do anyone else in your family share the same problem.

hi
let me make it clear that as our hair grow old they fall and new hair coming in their place
it is continue process
so it is normal to have 60-90 hair loss per day
it required no medicine
no medicine is there to stop this normal hair fall
so even ur applying minoxidil or other medicine hair fall will reduce but never stop.

Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Minoxidil is used in form of local application to promote hair growth and the hair loss should not be due to it.Just in case it is because of Minoxidil you should stop it immediately.I think the hair loss may be due to telogen effluvium a condition where there is hair loss following weakening fevers;deficiencies where there is shedding of hair and it may continue till 3-6 months also.You need to correct the problem if any by proper diagnosis.Please consult a Dermatologist (skin specialist ) for diagnosis and treatment.
Thanks
