I had been using birth control pills for 3 years, & noticed some hair loss. Over the recent 7 months, I noticed it got worse. My hair falls even when I walk. I stopped using the bcp's, and know I will have further hair loss. It's not getting better. I take iron for my anemia, and have a family history of balding in men. I have recently been taking multivitamins that include some amounts of zinc and biotin. Will my hair back or will it just grow "thicker" with what I'm taking? Will rogaine help?

Yes, the hair which are present on your scalp under the effect of medication can fall off after the discontinuation of the medicine. But, you must understand that this is what the original pattern of hairfall would have been had you not been applying minoxidil. So, it is not that you start...
When I get a questions like can I take finasteride when taking immunosupression drugs. I always refer the patient back to their doctor for such advice.
