A member asked:

Iam using metformin.i have heavy hair fall.doctor advised trichoton tablet(not trichoton forte).is it safe in pregnancy or trying for baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Placebo: You're a woman trying to become pregnant, and have been given a gimmicky mix of vitamins marketed for hair loss. If you characterize this as heavy, it's likely you have telogen effluvium and should be assessed by a competent dermatologist to rule out other entities. I'm also going to assume you've had your thyroid checked.
