Hello Dear
Thanks for your query.

First of all I would like to say that don't take any medicine without consulting your doctor.
Every medicine has its side effects.
Tugain 5% solution contains MINOXIDIL .Side effect of minoxidil are irritation of the eye, itching, redness & irritation of the applied area.Unwanted hair growth in other places of the body may occur.

NOVO-PHANE capsules contain vitamins & minerals .You can use it as supplement.

But again I repeat consult your doctor before using any medicine.

Beside medicines,have plenty of fluids, have a healthy diet and live a stressfree life.

Hope this helps.

Update here how you stay.

Take care.
