Severe hair fall
I have consulted a doctor from Practo who suggested a serum (folliserum hair growth serum) and a tablet. But while applying serum there is still heavy hair fall. It's around 120-200 hair fall daily. Is it normal and until when it will keep falling?
I am not sure if it is working or not. It's been 15 days I have been applying it. I know it takes around 3 months for the result but I am worried about the quantum of hair fall happening every time I apply this serum. Please render genuine advice

It takes time for the medicines to work. As long as there is no itching or irritation with the serum, you can continue using it.
