Hello lybrate-user, I understood your concern. You may continue iron for a few weeks and then switch over to biotin tablets. Also,other causes of hairfall like vit. D deficiency, stress,dandruff etc nwed to be looked at. Along with correction of underlying cause (if any, you can use hair serums and hair growth stimulating agents to solve your issue regards.
