I'm dealing with some serious hair fall issues and just saw a dermatologist recently. She prescribed me a tablet that has 10 mg of biotin, 100 mg of calcium pantothenate, and 50 mg of N-acetyl cysteine in each dose. I'm a bit concerned about whether this is a safe dosage to be taking. Could you give me some guidance on this?

Safety of Hair Loss Medication_

The prescribed tablet contains:

  1. Biotin (10 mg): A safe and effective dose for hair loss, promoting hair growth and strengthening hair follicles.
  2. Calcium Pantothenate (100 mg): A form of Vitamin B5, which is essential for hair growth. This dose is within the recommended daily intake.
  3. N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) (50 mg): An amino acid that supports hair growth and reduces oxidative stress. This dose is relatively low and considered safe.

The combination and dosages of these ingredients are generally considered safe and effective for addressing hair loss. However, it's essential to:

*Follow your dermatologist's instructions *Monitor your body's response to the medication *Report any adverse effects or concerns to your dermatologist

I've noticed some purple dots on the head of my penis and the skin is also really dry. The foreskin doesn't seem smooth at all. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do about it? I'm getting a bit worried.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of irritation or an infection, possibly related to dry skin or a dermatological condition. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for an examination to rule out any underlying issues such as balanitis or other skin conditions. In the meantime, keeping the area clean and moisturized may help, but it's best to get a professional evaluation.
