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:
- Biotin (10 mg): A safe and effective dose for hair loss, promoting hair growth and strengthening hair follicles.
- Calcium Pantothenate (100 mg): A form of Vitamin B5, which is essential for hair growth. This dose is within the recommended daily intake.
- 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

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.

I'm dealing with some rash on my penis that's really painful and red. I'm a married guy, and it's affecting my sex life. There's also some itching, and even after using sefromycin, it's not improving. I'm uncircumcised and not sure who to talk to or what to do about it. My only partner is my wife, and we occasionally have oral sex. I really want to find a solution quickly. What do you suggest?
