Hi,
Hair fall is one of the less commonly seen side effects of Eltroxin. However thyroid disorders are a common cause of hair fall. So my suggestion is to once get your thyroid levels checked to be on a safer side. Also you should start massaging the scalp with warm coconut oil.
You should apply pure aloevera gel over the hairs and scalp and wash your hair after half an hour. Along with it you should take Vitamin E capsule daily.
Drink plenty of water. You should also eat more of green vegetables and fruits. Apply hair serum after washing hairs. Always dilute the shampoo with water before use.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
