Doubtful to use halox 0.05 lotion

2021-08-01 22:15:33
Recently post covid I have been experiencing severe hair fall from last 6 weeks. I have consulted dermatologist, he said I have telegon effluvium and prescribed few supplements like orofer xt and keralog eva. He also suggested me halox 0.05% twice daily for 4 weeks. I started using the medicine but I m really doubtful to use halox lotion. In addition to the pills, I have been using densita (not yet started halox). It's been 7days but the hairfall is still huge with lumps of hair oozing from my scalp after every time I comb my hair. Pls suggest me whether it is safe to use halox 0.05% for hairfall though I don't have any allergy?
