Get your thyroid : checked soon. Best to reverse engineer and find the actual cause. Then, treat the cause, so that the symptoms will disappear. Don't do the converse. There are no medicated shampoos for hair loss. Best you can do is see your doctor, and be placed on get you thyroid function treated soon.
