Yes, this is treatable. Perimenopausal hair thinning is mostly female pattern loss driven by falling estrogen, and it is very often made worse by low ferritin, low vitamin D and an underactive thyroid - all three are common at 43. So before any tonic, get TSH, CBC with ferritin, vitamin D and B12 done. If those are normal, topical minoxidil 2% once or twice daily is the treatment with real evidence, along with adequate protein and iron. It takes 3-4 months to show, so don't judge it in weeks. Avoid random biotin combos and frequent chemical straightening. Share your reports with me on a Practo consult and I'll give you a definite regimen instead of guesswork.

Hair fall occurs due to decin8ng estrogen levels at this age.Take proteins and zinc, supplements if dandruff, get it treated .
Massage scalp with lukewarm natural oil like coconut or olive at least once a week, use natural, organic hairwash substances.
These measures should stop hair fall to some extent, otherwise consult an endocrinologist physically for estrogen supplements.
Requires a proper assessment to understand the underlying cause and guide you.
