Brief Answer:
Altris 5

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

White hair is very difficult to treat. The available medication gives less than 20 % results. However, she can try Altris 5 solution for local application daily in night and tablet Pabatab one tablet daily in night. Both medication can be used for 3 months and if there is good response then these can be continued for a longer duration.

This might be helpful. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you.
