Hi,
I can understand you concern for hair loss in scalp area.

Petogen contains medroxyprogesterone acetate. Directly speaking it do not cause hair loss. There can be multiple other reasons such as stress, dietary imbalance and any long term illness. Minoxidil in lotion form can be used to improve hair growth. Minoxidil do not cause any side effect and is very safe drug to be used.

You can take vitamins in the form of biotin, calicium pantothenate and other vitamin B complexes. Multivitamin tablets contains all these essential nutrients so you can take it.

Increase you protein intake on daily basis and eat sprouts.

Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and sprouts which contains vitamins and minerals necessary for normal hair function.

Take care.
