I'm trying to figure out if there's any connection between Primosa 1000 which my oncologist prescribed for a fibrous lump in my breast, and the severe hairfall I've been experiencing. I've been taking it for about three months now, and the hairfall started around two months ago. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
