A member asked:
I started losing my hair after taking the depo-provera shot - it has been 8 months since i've had the shot, and it hasn't started growing back. what can i do?

Rogaine (minoxidil): The effect of the Depo-Provera shot has caused a hormonally induced hair loss. There also may other underlying issues so a blood work up is indicated, including hormone tests, thyroid function and iron levels. You can start rogaine (minoxidil) in the interim. Expect 2 months before romaine starts to work.
