I'm dealing with some major hairfall that's been happening ever since I bounced back from jaundice a couple of months ago. My dermatologist recommended using keraboost tablets and a hair serum. I'm trying to decide between two serums: one has Minoxidil and the other has Procapil. She said either would work based on what's available. But while browsing online, I read that stopping Minoxidil can have side effects. Does Procapil have any similar issues if I stop using it? I want to make sure I choose the option that's more sustainable for me since I can't afford something super long-term. Would love some advice on this.

Regarding your concern about the side effects of Procapil, it is generally considered to have fewer side effects compared to Minoxidil. Procapil is a combination of three active ingredients that work to improve hair anchoring, reduce hair loss, and stimulate hair growth without the potential side effects associated with Minoxidil. You can consider using a hair serum containing Procapil as recommended by your dermatologist.

View allI'm really struggling with a lot of hair loss, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice on how to deal with this issue? Also, if you could recommend a good shampoo or hair oil that might help, I would really appreciate it.
Hair loss can be caused by various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. To help reduce hair loss, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% applied twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin supplements 10,000 mcg daily can also promote hair growth. For the best hair wash shampoo, you can try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week to help with dandruff and hair loss. For oil, you can use Rogaine foam once daily on the scalp to promote hair regrowth. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication or supplement regimen.
