About
BIOTIN+CALCIUM PANTOTHENATE+ZINC OXIDE+FOLIC 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+ZINC OXIDE+FOLIC ACID is a combination of four drugs, namely: Biotin (a form of vitamin B), Calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5), Zinc oxide (mineral supplement), and Folic acid (a form of vitamin B9). 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.
