Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor Hair loss in POD has a hormonal origin. There is an excess of male hormones that are circulating that normally shouldn't. These male hormones are responsible for miniaturization and hair loss predominantly from the top of the scalp in females (Female pattern An Chat Doctor. Treatment of POD is specifically aimed at normalizing the hormonal imbalance with monthly hormonal pills(combination of estrogen and a progestational agent). Once the hormonal balance is normalized the excess male hormones which were acting, no longer do and therefore hair fall is arrested and even reversed. The tablet which you mention contains biotin. Biotin is an added advantage as it promotes hair growth. It also promotes utilization of proteins by hair, but it is not specific therapy for hair fall in POD. Minoxidil too is not specific to POD, it is a non-specific hair growth promoter, but it has an added advantage when it is co-administered with specific therapy for POD. However, both biotin and minoxidil are absolutely safe to be used in PRO </s>
