Suggest Remedy For Regrowth Of Lost Hair

Hi, I have lost a lot of hair over past one year. i was going through a very stressful situation. My Doctore prescribed Ipca s Kera XL, no oral medication though. I do see a the hair fall has stopped, however, I am worried about the regrowth of hair. Please advise, as the hair growth around the front portion of my head is not very significant and my scalp can be seen through.

Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

Causes of hair fall vary in males and females.
Androgenetic alopecia is the most common reason for frontal hair loss in both males as well as females.
I usually start my patients of androgenetic alopecia on a minoxidil preparation, twice daily. Minoxidil is US FDA approved for this type of hair loss.
Oral treatment includes tablet finasteride 1 mg once daily in males. Females can be started on either spironolactone or finasteride.
These ae prescription drugs therefore, I would suggest that you seek another appointment with your dermatologist for the needful.

Regards
