A member asked:
I am experiencing hair loss and considering taking biotin 3000mcg while on apo bromocriptine (too much prolactin), is it safe?

I would...: Recommend getting rogaine (minoxidil) if you would like to stimulate hair growth.

Yes, it's safe!: Taking biotin is a good idea. Biotin is a b vitamin that is in many of the foods we eat. It is in eggs, for example, but is destroyed in the cooking process. It has been shown to promote healthy hair, skin, and nails. It is not a toxic vitamin, meaning you will just excrete what you don't need. There is not problem taking it with bromocriptine. Lowering prolactin will reduce your hair loss also.

It should be OK: To take both. Biotin is simply a vitamin b supplement/ vitamin b7. Take care! http://progressivehealth.Hubpages.Com/hub/12-herbs-for-hair-loss.
