Does Ranbaxy Essvit Biotin Helps To Control Hair Fall?
Hi Doctor, I would like to know if Ranbaxy Essvit Biotin 5 mg tablets would be of help in stopping hair fall. One reason for hairfall is the poor quality of water out here, as we get it from the borewell and all at home are experiencing the same problem. How long would I have to take the tablet and does it have any kind of hormonal side effects or is it just another vitamin?Thanks, Christina.

Hi...Biotin supplements are helpful in controlling hair fall if it is due to telogen effluvium or nutritional deficiency...so i would suggest you to consult a dermatologist first to know the cause behind your hairfall.
You have to continue taking biotin 10 mg a day continuously at least for 3 months before you expect any results.It does not cause any hormonal side effect. It is a hair vitamin so you can safely take it for months together.
Along with it also start iron and calcium supplements for good results.
Hope this post is helpful to you.
Thanks..
