General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Tugain 5 solution contains Minoxidil 5%, which is a topical treatment for androgenic alopecia (hair loss) or male pattern baldness. Minoxidil is a vasodilator and is thus stimulate hair follicles to grow by increasing blood flow in the scalp and enhancing cell proliferation in hair follicles that were in resting phase.
Keraglo contains vitamin and mineral supplements like Biotin, N-acetyl cysteine, Calcium panthothenate, Sodium selenite, Elemental selenium, Elemental copper and Zinc oxide, which would aid in preventing hair loss and promoting its growth.
The treatment takes a little longer time to experience the results. Hence, kindly have patience and use them regularly as recommended.
For your scalp dryness, you can use selenium and zinc based shampoo once in 3 days, which over a period of time will help you to overcome it.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
