Hi,
Hair 4 U 5% solution is composed of 'Minoxidil', is used in the treatment of hair loss, effectively promoting hair growth for those having the condition of alopecia. It improves the circulation of blood to hair follicles which triggers an increase in hair growth.
Adhair is composed of 2% Solution of 'Minoxidil'. Astymin Forte Capsule contains 5 Hydroxyanthranilic Acid, Calcium Pantothenate, Dl-Methionine, Folic Acid, L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Lysine, L-Phenylalamine, L-Threonine, L-Tryptophan, L-Valine, Nicotinamide, Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin E as active ingredients. It provides appropriate nutrition to the tissues which would promote hair growth.
Although side effects mention hair growth on other parts of the body where the solution comes in contact, it would only happen on the repeated application on a long-term basis.
Kindly use the medications as prescribed by your doctor and do the necessary follow-up as advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
