Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
For the problem of hair loss, there are not much medications to be completely effective. You can try the following.
Use Minoxidil 5% solution twice a day local application. It takes about 6 months for appreciation of results.
Take zinc supplements.
Eat soya rich foods and consume green tea.
That should make your hair fall reduce and give a chance for new hair development.
