Androgenetic alopecia

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Hello, I am diagnosed with Androgenetic alopecia and my doctor has prescribed me minoxidil 5% solution with Keraglo eva tablets. Also, due to deficiency of vit d, b12 and iron, I was asked to take supplements daily for all. I am experiencing constipation and abdominal pain with hemfer xt (iron) and my hair has started turning white now. I dont know if its because of minoxidil. I am really worried because I haven't seen any improvement in last 2 months neither in my hair (turning white and still too much thin) or overall health. Can anyone pls help me with this? Thanks!
