Losing hair as a result of prolonged uti due to E Coli infections

I have been steadily losing my hair over the past year. Biotin 5000 mugs has been recommended but I am taking MacroBID at present. Can I take Biotin with the antibiotic?

One thing that springs to my mind is whether your thyroid levels are optimum. I do not mean what GPs call “normal”. I do know that low thyroid levels can result in constant UTIs and it may be worth asking GP for your most recent blood tests and posting them here for comments.

Sorry, I do not know the answer to your antibiotic question.

Not what you're looking for?
