Hair Loss Remedies for Thinning Hair on aromatase inhibitors?

I was diagnosed with ER+ stage 1 breast cancer 6months ago. I am now on Arimidex (ananstrozole). I’m having a few side effects eg very dry skin, extreme hair loss, a bit of foggy brain and mild pain in my finger joints.
But what is really concerning me is my hair loss, I have already lost almost 50% of my hair (I used to have nice thick hair!)
Can any one please advise me what can be done to stop my hair falling.
Thank you & best wishes, Sato

I switched to BondiBoost HG Duo Shampoo + Conditioner Bundle [10.14fl oz each] - Improves Appearance for Thinning Hair - Volumizing + Hydrating + Nourishing - Sulfate/Paraben Free, for Women/Men - Australian Made. Did not lose too much hair during chemo and it all grew back within months! Got it on Amazon.
