Today's market is full of countless medicines that promise hairloss treatment and remedy. The advertisers often make their products sound so promising that sometimes excitement takes over logic and we often even end up buying some of them. For the lucky ones this may reap benefits but for the unlucky ones (the number of which unfortunately way surpasses the lucky ones in this matter), not only does this turn out to be complete waste of money but often even results in more side effects and hair problems than before. So you may feel like knowing what to opt for and what to avoid.

To start with, there is no hard and fast rule as to what is best for hairloss treatment. In general, homeopathic medicines, ayurvedic medicines, and herbal solutions tend to cause less number of side effects and thus can be considered safer. This again however depends on how strong the medicine is.

Also, medicines containing steroids, even in low levels are best avoided. They may generate immediate results and help in hair growth, but they are known to cause multiple side effects. Also the hair growth caused by their intake is usually not permanent, which implies that at the end of the day you are left with only but side effects for a temporary joy. Avoid this ‘hairloss treatment' under all circumstances. Even the wigs make a much better option!

Another rule of thumb that you must always remember is to avoid hairloss treatment medicines manufactured by unknown brands or ones that are new to the market. Even though it is obvious that since they are being openly sold they must have been carefully researched and tested, it is not wrong to say that they are yet to prove themselves to the general public. You surely do not like to play the guinea pig; do you?

One of the most important things about medicines is that the suitability of what you take depends on the problems that you face. It is a good idea to start with a visit to a doctor and diagnose your condition first. However, in case the medicines prescribed by them do not sound safe enough to you, do not take them. A number of doctors simply prescribe medicines because of the commission offered by the drug manufacturers without caring for their utility. Seek second opinion from another expert as a precautionary measure.

And last but not the least; keep in mind is that you should not take any hairloss treatment drug without letting your doctor know. Also, it is never safe to take any two medicines simultaneously without consulting your doctor. Thus in case you are seeing two doctors, and while one has prescribed a homeopathic medicine and the other herbal, do not take them together, without letting your doctors know about the other medication that has been prescribed. This is because two different drugs can cause chemical reactions in the body and harm you immensely.
