default
Posted on Wed, 4 Jan 2017
Question: I am suffering from hair fall, white hair and dandruff. More than half of my hair on head and beared has turned to white. I don't want to use minoxidill and finasteride. I was searching on google and found two products that helps in growth and maintenance of hair
1. Biotin 10 mg tablet
2. HealthViva Hair with Biotin (It has many ingredients. It also contains biotin but the quantity of biotin is very less i.e 20mcg)
Please suggest which one is best and safer from the above two medicine.
If there is any another medicine that helps in preventing the premature greying or whitening of the hair Please suggest the same
Are the above medicine turn the white hair of beared and head to black?
Are the above medicine also helpful in hair fall and removing the Dandruff?

Brief Answer:
Biotin 10 mg. tab Calcium pantothenate and melitane gel

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Both are safe but out of the two biotin 10 mg would be better.
For premature greying of hair I recommend my patients to take tablet calcium pantothenate 200 mg once daily and apply melitane 1 percent gel on the affected areas of the scalp for 5-6 months.
These will help in preventing further greying of hair.
The repigmentation of already grey hair would not be complete. It would be partial.
The above medicines will prevent hair fall but won't be effective in treating dandruff.
