In Telogen Effluvium, when the number of hair follicles producing hair declines, there will be an increase in telogen stage hair follicles. This results in shedding or hair loss. Best, Dr. Emer

In general, manufacturing and sales of medications are highly regulated.  Just because a generic brand costs less does not mean it is less potent or less effective.

If you are not sure why you are losing hair, it is best to see a doctor for an exam and treatment options.  If you have seen a doctor but you are afraid to follow your doctor's recommendation, let your doctor know about your fears.
