How To Treat Severe Hair Loss Despite Medication Like Minoxidil?
I am 29 years old, I have been suffering from hair fall and only 10% of hair is left,
I have Iron value of 27.5 ug/dl in the latest blood test report. Will it lead to heavy hail fall?
No improvement even using minoxidil and prohair tablets. Please suggest me what to do.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Minoxidil takes about 6 months to start working and you must continue medication for life long. So do continue minoxidil daily for 6 months without break and if there is no improvement, then you can think of alternate medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
