Should I Use 'finex' And 'folli Hair' For Controlling Hair Fall?

I was taking the isotretnoin tablets when I was 18 for Acne, after that I have been losing hair and even the hair texture has changed. No one in my family has hair loss problems (both mom and dad side).
I went to a doc and he says it is MPT and had given minoxidil 5%, i have been using that for the last 7 months, hair still continues to fall , but I think the no of thin hairs falling now is less but when I shower I loose about 30-50 strands, is that normal? But i have lost hair in the temple for sure.

Today I went to another doctor and he has given me finex( am very scared to use this after reading about the side effects on the net), folli hair, shampoo and a lotion. Please advice.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of hairfall, my treatment advice is -
1. Use a good herbal hair oil and shampoo for routine use.
2. Apply a mild topical steroid lotion like Beclomethasone lotion once at night.
3. Take an iron supplement and vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.

Thanks.
