-For hair loss, Tugain 5% is generally preferred as it is effective with fewer side effects compared to Tugain 10%. Higher concentrations may cause more irritation, so start with the 5% version unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

I'm wondering if Clobeta GM is good for treating pimples and dark spots, or if it's meant for something else. Could you explain what exactly this ointment is used for?

Clobeta GM ointment is not typically used for pimples or dark spots. It is commonly used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. The ointment contains Clobetasol, Gentamicin, and Miconazole which help reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with these skin conditions.
