I'm worried that my hair is falling out because of the Acenac MR tablets I've been taking. Do you think it could be the cause? Also, is there any way to regrow my hair with medication? How can I reach out to you for advice?

Hair loss can be distressing! Acneac MR tablets, which contain minocycline, can contribute to hair loss as a rare side effect. However, it's essential to consult your doctor to determine if the tablets are the primary cause of your hair fall.

Other possible causes of hair loss:

  1. Hormonal imbalances
  2. Genetics
  3. Nutritional deficiencies (e.g., iron, zinc, or biotin)
  4. Stress
  5. Certain medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases)

Can hair regrow with medication?

Yes, in some cases, medication can help promote hair growth or slow down hair loss

Hey, I've been using terbinaforce plus cream on my upper thighs for the last two weeks and the infection seems to have cleared up about a week ago. Should I keep using it even though it looks like it's cured? Just wondering what's best to do here.

It is not necessary to continue applying Terbinaforce plus cream if the infection has already been cured for a week. You can stop using the cream now.

I'm a bit confused about how to take Acivir 400 mg for these active lesions on my penis, as I've been diagnosed with HSV-2. My test results show my IGG and IGM are both at 183, while HSV-1 and HIV came back negative. The instructions were to take the medication three times a day for seven days, but I'm unsure if I should swallow the tablet with water or if it needs to be dissolved first. I wasn't able to ask the doctor who prescribed it and could really use some guidance. Any advice on this?

You should take the tablet orally with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet before swallowing. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to effectively counter the virus and decrease the lesions.

I'm really concerned about my hair fall. It started a couple of years ago but wasn't too bad, so I ignored it. However, since I moved to a new place and started using ground water, I've noticed a lot more hair falling out than before. Are there any precautions or steps I should take to address this issue? Any advice would be appreciated.
