Brief Answer:
Use Pabatab-bz tablet to prevent pre-mature grey hairs.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic,

I have read your query and understand your concern.

Premature grey hair could be related to plenty of factors like hormones, stress or using cosmetic products (for ex. hair dyes), certain medications, genetics, nutrition/diet issues or thyroid or rarely pituitary abnormality or Vitamin B12 deficiency.

So,it would be better you should be go for blood investigations like routine blood counts, Thyroid profile, Growth hormone levels, Vitamin B12 levels, serum calcium to rule out above causes.

Correction of the hormone might be required if some abnormality detected in blood tests.

Further, I would advise you to use Pabatab-BZ tablet (as it contains Para aminobenzoic acid, biotin and calcium panthotenate) daily once for minimum 6 months.

These supplements are necessary for hair and it helps to prevent premature white or graying of hair.

You can also apply 'Altris gel' which contains melitane which prevents and reverses graying of hair by stimulating melanin production.

Avoid caffeine containing drinks and smoking if you do.

Eats plenty of fresh fruits and spinach.

Take protein rich diet like egg, pulses, fruits, green leafy vegetables are helpful.

All these drugs are prescription based and should be taken under strict medical prescription of a doctor.

So, better you should see a dermatologist who will know about it and may prescribe you.

Hope this Will help you.

Dr.Sandip Kabra

Brief Answer:
Bio vegetal hair colors

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

I would suggest to use a hair shampoo e.g ANAPHASE Shampoo by Ducray laboratories.It will also be helpful to prevent hair fall if any. Loreal shampoos and conditioners are also a good choice.

Loreal exellance creme is also a good alternative and better than other hair dyes to prevent premature greying of hair.

As we discussed,topical 1% Melitane (Altris gel) is a new molecule that has become available for premature gray hair. It needs to be applied once daily (2ml) at night, at hair roots. Recently it has also become available as 5% melitane solution (Altris solution) to be applied once daily at night.

You can also try an organic hair color like Bio- Vegetal hair color, which is ammonia free and therefore expected to be free from side effects. Ammonia containing hair colors should better be avoided as they may cause increased hair shedding in some individuals.

These are prescription medications and should be used under supervision and guidance of a dermatologist. Therefore I suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip kabra
