Extreme hair fall problem
I am facing incredibly hair fall from some months.I had taken antibiotics some months ago.But I thought it was normal because I was taking antibiotics but now I think there is something different reason for the extreme hair fall.So I have started to use minoxidil 2% (using two times) without doctor's prescription because I have nothing to do.Now I want to know how much time should I use it?And after using it,if the hair fall problem will under control,will I can use it once a day?And how will I stop it to use?I have heard that it has to be used for the whole life.Please answer to my questions.

Hairfall can have multiple causes and you should get the same evaluated by a dermatologist. While minoxidil is an efficient molecule, you need other medications with it depending on the cause of your hairfall.
