doctor, i am going through ivf frozen embryo transfer cycle and started experiencing hair fall. so can i take natural nu' u biotin 10000mg tablet at least once/twice a week? is it safe for pregnancy? i am 36 years old with thyroid and no other issues?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid and biotin : Biotin can interfere with the accuracy of thyroid testing and management.  I recommend you speak with your provider about alternatives for hair loss that do not involve Biotin.

Scalp massage, avoidance of chemical coloring/perms, shampoo about 2-4 times per week (not daily), good nutritional intake and hydration, as well as regular exercise are safe options for now
