A member asked:
How much and for how long should i take biotin, selenium and zink for hair loss/damage due to previously taking depakote?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nutrition: Depakote and other similar medications can deplete B vitamins and other nutrients. These can be measured in lab tests to determine if supplements are effective. Hair loss can also occur to hormonal imbalance, heavy metal toxicity and thyroid conditions.
