About BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID
BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID belongs to a class of medications called dietary supplements used for healthy hair growth and to prevent hair loss. Alopecia is the thinning or loss of hair on the scalp or any part of the body. Hair loss may be temporary or permanent.
BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID is a combination of five drugs, namely: Biotin (a form of vitamin B), Calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5), the elements copper and zinc, and para aminobenzoic acid (a natural body chemical). Biotin is a vitamin that stimulates the production of keratin (a natural protein) in hair that increases hair growth. Calcium pantothenate provides essential nutrients and prevents hair loss. Copper helps in building hair follicle size and inhibits follicle death. Zinc is essential for hair growth and reduces breakage or thinning of hair and greying. Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA/Vitamin B10) may help in the colouration and darkening of premature grey hair. Together, BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID strengthens hair, prevents hair loss, improves hair structure, and increases the resistance of hair to damage caused by sunlight.
Take BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID as advised by your physician. Take BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID for as long as your physician has suggested it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience vomiting, nausea, headache, diarrhea, or dry mouth. Most of these side effects of BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID or any other medicines, please tell your physician. BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID is not recommended for children unless advised by the pediatrician. Inform your physician about your entire medical history including any genetic disorders and also if you are pregnant/breastfeeding or if you have had stomach surgery. BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID may interfere with the results of laboratory tests and cause derangements in the reports. Avoid alcohol consumption and smoking with BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID as they may decrease the absorption of BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID. Proceed with caution in case of an inherited disorder called biotinidase deficiency, a condition where the body cannot process biotin, a component of BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ELEMENTAL COPPER+ELEMENTAL ZINC+PARA AMINOBENZOIC ACID.
