The cause would be thyroid dysfunction. So, you consult your managing doctor for revision of dose of the tablet you have take.  You may take Biotin tablet daily for few months to few year or till the good result. Apply mild steroid lotion on the scalp. If there is a dandruff, use  ketoconazole shampoo. Oil the scalp with almond oil.  Avoid anxiety and tension related to hair fall. Have meditation and yoga to relax the mind.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
