Yes, there are side effects of this medicine. Like burning, redness, itching of eyes. Hairfall may start again after stopping it. Rub your hair with onion paste before an hour of shower. It will help you with hair growth. Also, you can massage your scalp with oil before shower. Eat more chana and amla.
