Hair loss due to medication
I am losing a lot of hair (I have lost 50percent of my hair in the span of two months) after starting a medication (azathioprine 150mg) for auto immune disease. I am taking supplements containing biotin and other vitamins and minerals but it has no effect. I am still losing tons of hair; intially my eyebrows were falling out but that stopped after 1.5 months.. is there any solution for hair loss? Can anything be done to reduce the rate of hair fall and promote hair regrowth? Please help.
