What Are The Possible Treatments To Avoid Hair Fall ?

am having a lot of hair fall dse daz and consulted a doctor at Paul's clinic. I ve been given the following medicines:
1. Estemo
2. Aminocal
3. Terofolaz
4. Eracod
5. Astymin z-forte
6. Biotech
the hair fall has reduced bt nt significantly. Surfing online, i found mention of two drugs minoxidil and finasteride. Are the medicines suggested to me good enough or should i take a second opinion? Also, can you please suggest a good anti-DHT shampoo commonly available?

hi
welcome to our site

read your query
that is a very significant question
and i appreciate your problem

i will try my best to answer your query

first and foremost
i would suggest meet a dermatologist
the reason being that the drugs you mentioned are meant for
male pattern baldness mainly

but there are many other causes of hair loss
and it is likely that there is some other cause of hair
loss which may be treated by other medicines

i should tell you that the effect of both
minoxidil and finasteride is limited
to the period while they are used
the effect is not permanent
and then there are the side effects of the medicines too

for anti dandruff
the best are the charcoal shampoos

i would also suggest a cbc
to find out a hint for vitamin and mineral deficiency
one of the most common causes of hair loss

i hope this helps you
inform the reports mentioned above (if any)
so i can be of help further
best of luck

(please do understand that some problem remains as
online texting cuts down history and examination
thereby reducing the effect and efficiency
and increases reliance on tests)
