Having just recovered from jaundice a couple of months ago, my friend, whos only 23, is really worried about losing a lot of hair lately. We visited a doctor who suggested using a procapil-based solution, but we're concerned about any side effects or what might happen if she stops using it. Could you shed some light on this?

How should I use Onabet SD solution? Should I mix it with water, or just apply it directly? And after applying it, how long should I wait before washing my hair? I'm a bit confused about the instructions and want to make sure I'm doing it right.
To apply Onabet SD solution, you should first wash and dry the affected area thoroughly. Then, apply enough solution to cover the affected area and the surrounding skin. It should be applied directly without diluting it with water. After applying the solution, you should not wash the area for at least 3-4 hours to allow the medication to be absorbed properly. It is recommended to apply Onabet SD solution once or twice daily as directed by your healthcare provider.
