Is Glycomet Good For Hair Loss During Hypothyroidism?

Doctor, I am a 24 year old woman with hypothyroidism (under control;;;present value is 1.03 which is normal) and PCOD. I am taking thyronorm 75 mcg and Diane 35. I am having a lot of hair loss (especially on the top as in males) so the dermatologist recommended glycomet. Is glycomet needed at this stage ??

HI
Well come to HCM
If this is the history of hair fall then glycomet would be questionable because this is mainly given for diabetes and for the hair fall it may not be having any specific role, you need to ask for this to dermatologist, take care.
I find this answer helpful
