Will Biotin Help Hair Loss

I have found that Biotin Forte is a good vitamin if you want your hair to grow and repair. They use this Biotin Forte on Cancer patients, after surgeries and so on. It is usually $12.50 over the counter, and I've tried the Vitaline brand - 30 capsules @ 5 mg. Seemed to have positive results. ## Hello, Jenni! How are you? Yes, Biotin has been found to help with some type of hair loss, depending on what has caused the hair loss. Some people that lose hair due to stress or a vitamin deficiency get great results with it. The price varies, but it is available fairly inexpensively in most health and vitamin shops. When it comes to cancer patients, their hair will usually return on its own, once they are done with their treatment protocol. Are there any other questions or concerns?

Does this tablet really prevent hair loss? ## I'd like to know why Combit tablets are used and what the recommended dosage is in a day? ## Combit is just a nutritional supplement, it contains Biotin, Lysine, vitamin B12, Iron, Zinc and Calcium. Nenapirali, biotin has been known to help with some types of hair loss. Zoya, these nutrients are important to the body and can prevent a deficiency in them, if you don't get enough in your diet. As to the dosage, you should follow the instructions on the package. ## Can Combit tablets help reduce hair loss?

I need to know if it's true that it helps offset the loss of hair some people experience(1/3 of hair some need wigs) and what are the dosages 10,000 mcs or mls plus Vit B complex and what vitamins/mineral supple ments? ## Biotin may help, but the only way to find out is for you to try it. However, you should always check with your doctor to make sure that it's safe for you to do so. You shouldn't exceed the dosage suggested by your doctor or on the product packaging. There is no proven supplement protocol that I can give you, I'm sorry, I wish there were. Vitamin E is also said to help with the health of your hair, so that could be another to try, if your doctor says it is safe for you to take. Does anyone else have any suggestions to add? ## I believe that while you are...

My beautician said lisinopril definitely causes hair loss. She recommended taking Biotin 5000 mg to help. ## Hello, Lynn! How are you? Yes, that is a listed side effect of Lisinopril, as reported by the FDA, although it is rare. Someone taking it may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

How can I stop hair loss due to taking Amlodipine 10mg? ## I would personally recommend natural alternatives to counteract it, that way there is no risk of having even more side effects associated with another prescription medication. I found that supplementing with liver pills is a great source of iron, biotin, and B-vitamins which help to keep hair strong and healthy. Another reliable option is supplementing with fish oil or hemp seed oil; particularly the omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are great for hair. One last option I would recommend is ceedarwood essential oil for stopping the hair from falling out. I urge you to google information about these products for not just hair health, but many other benefits as well. Please post back if you have any other questions or concerns...

Is this drug safe to use every day for always and is this the strongest it is made? Also does it really grow hair on the head? Thank you. rosie ## Biotin Forte is actually a nutritional supplement, not a medication. The nutrients it contains are vital to overall health and a deficiency in them can cause health problems. It contains: Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) 100 mg, Thiamin (as thiamin HCI) (vitamin B1) 10 mg, Riboflavin (vitamin B2) 10 mg, Niacin (as niacinamide) 40 mg, Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCl) 25 mg, Folic Acid 800 mcg, Vitamin B-12 (as cyanocobalamin) 10 mcg, Biotin 5 mg and Pantothenic Acid (as calcium D-pantothenate) 10 mg.

My doctor is now putting me on Eliquis I wanted to know if anyone had any hair loss or heavy cycles on eliquis? ## Hello, Monet! How are you? Yes, Eliquis risks causing the same side effects, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

36 year old female, 2 kids(5 yrs. & 10 mos.) Had terrible post pardum depression and anxiety attacks. This medicine has helped me tremendously over the last 7 months BUT now my hair is falling out like crazy. Every time I wash my hair I lose like 20-30 strands. It is not as healthy as at was and much thinner. I started taking a women's multivitamin and a biotin supplement to help but I guess I am gonna have to call my psychiatrist and switch to another medication. Sucks because I don't want to have to deal with the emotional rollercoaster of adjusting to a new med. Anyone else seen the hair loss stop or does it just continue on this medication?? ## Hello, Apearson! How are you?

I am taking Levipil 500 mg + 500 mg in the morning as well as at night. The total dosage is 2000 mg in a whole day. I have been taking it for the last 3 yrs. I have symptoms of heavy hair loss. My question is how can I stop my hair fall as it is too much. ## This contains the active ingredient Levetiracetam, which is an anticonvulsant that is most commonly used to treat epilepsy. And as to hair loss, that is not listed as a normal side effect, but have you consulted your doctor? If not, you really should, to determine if it is from the medication or from something else. If it is caused by the medication, there are sometimes nutritional supplements that can help slow the hair loss, many people have had good luck with Biotin: However, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist, befor...

i am taking thyronorm 50 mcg since last 2 years my t3 t4 tsh are in range. problem is hair loss, dryness of skin and weight gain ## I'm sorry, but there really is no solution as long as you are taking this medication. There are well known side effects of it and they tend to continue. Have you consulted your doctor? They might be able to make some suggestions to help with the dry skin. Additionally, a supplement such as Biotin, if it's safe for you to take, may help slow the hair loss. Other supplements may help, as well, such as a good multivitamin. It's hard to say, some people have good luck with them and some don't. ## From starting of hypothyroid i was taking Thyroxine Sodium Tablets IP Eltroxin 100mcg monday to friday (5 Days) prescribed by doctor.

Im 26 yrs old and my hair is so thin that i'm experiencing hair loss. My friends suggested I take two evion tablets mixed with hair oil and use it daily. Will it work for my hair? ## Hi, Soni! Evion is just a nutritional supplement that contains Vitamin E, it is vital to the health of our hair, nails and other vital body functions, but it's not going to help grow hair or to thicken it. You may do well with a multivitamin supplement, since a deficiency in some nutrients could cause the type of problems that you're having. Another supplement you may want to look into is Biotin, it's been shown to help prevent hair loss and promote new growth. Before doing so, however, please make sure to check with your doctor that it is safe for you take anything. Is there anything else I...

Awesome share it is without doubt. My girlfriend has been looking for this info. ## I am not sure what post you were responding to, in the future to respond to a post, you should use the box directly underneath it that says: Post a reply to this topic. Otherwise, the posters don't get a notification that you posted a reply. And on the hairloss issues, since I don't know what was in the post you are referring to, another thing that people may want to look into is Biotin. A deficiency in it can cause some hairloss and supplementing it has been shown to help arrest it and to encourage hair regrowth. Are there any questions or comments?

I'm already losing hair as I grow older (am going on 76). Does anyone know of a hypothyroid medication that does NOT cause more hair loss? ## The hair loss can also be related to your levels not being optimal and many people have found it to slow, or stop if they were maintained at the optimum levels. Improvements have also been shown by using T4/T3 drug combinations, rather than just synthetic T4 alone. Has your doctor provided any assistance regarding the issue? Some people have had success using Biotin supplements to improve hair loss, but you should check with your doctor, before adding anything new.

I have been diagnosed with alopecia aretae . I m going thru severe hair loss. Doc prescribed me tricovit tab . Will it help me and how long it would take to protect my existing hair . ## Tricovit is just a nutritional supplement that claims to contain vitamins that will help your hair. It contains biotin, L-Cysteine and L-Methionine. However, there are no guarantees that it will actually help your hair loss and stop more from occurring. It is known that some hair loss can be caused by a deficiency in Biotin, so if that's what has caused it, supplementing it back can arrest the hair loss and help encourage new growth. But, if your hair loss has is genetic, which is usually the case with alopecia areata, there may be nothing that can be done to change it. There are cases of this, thou...

i am a hypothyroid,can i take keragalo forte to prevent hair loss ## Have you discussed this with your doctor? Keraglo Forte is just a nutritional supplement, so there is probably no harm in taking it, but you should check with them to be certain, because some vitamins and minerals can have a effect on how well other medications work or how much of them is absorbed by your body. It is listed as containing: Biotin USP 10 mg N-acetyl cysteine USP 50mg Calcium panthothenate 100mg Sodium selenite USP equivalent to Elemental selenium 60mcg Elemental copper 3mg Zinc oxide 22.5 mg And, as a supplement, there is no guarantee that it will help to prevent hair loss, though some people have had good results from it. ## Use cobadex czs from last 2 years i am sufffering hair loss due to hypothyroidi...

My husband is 35.... doctor prescribed him follihair for hair loss two years back for a month.... but he has been taking since widout doctors advice.... I hav noticed that in past one year he is hardly interested in physical touch.... I feel this is because of excessive intake of follihair.... can this be true ## It is very doubtful, because Follihair is just a nutritional supplement that contains a complex of vitamins and minerals that are vital to our overall health, as well as biotin to aid in hair growth and health. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, and diarrhea, in some people that take it. There are, however, many medications that could cause such an issue. Does he take anything else regularly? Has his doctor checked his testosterone level?
