Description
FOLIFAST HAIR TINCTURE 100 ML by INTAS PHARMACEUTICALS LTD.
Folifast Hair Tincture is a topical solution formulated to address various hair and scalp concerns, including hair fall and thinning. Manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., this medicinal tincture is designed to promote hair growth and improve overall scalp health.
Composition
Folifast Hair Tincture contains a blend of active ingredients:
- Benzyl Nicotinate (0.2% w/v): Helps increase skin oxygenation and stimulate blood circulation to the scalp, promoting healing and healthy hair growth.
- Vitamin K (Menadione) (0.2% w/v): Supports scalp health, enhances blood flow, and contributes to fuller hair growth.
- Salicylic Acid (0.1% w/v): Acts as an exfoliant, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and encouraging the growth of new cells on the scalp, which can reduce dandruff and scalp buildup.
- Alcohol 95% IP (61% v/v): Aids in the even distribution of active ingredients and possesses antiseptic properties for scalp hygiene.
Uses
Folifast Hair Tincture is prescribed for:
- Increasing hair growth and reducing hair fall.
- Treating conditions such as alopecia (round, bald patches on the scalp).
- Preventing hair loss caused by aging or chemical damage.
- Improving overall scalp health and reducing dandruff.
- Strengthening hair and addressing hair thinning.
Dosage and Administration
Apply the tincture topically to the scalp or affected skin areas. Initially, it may be applied once daily, and subsequently, thrice a week, or as directed by a physician. Typically, 1 ml of the solution is applied to the affected areas of the scalp. Ensure the hair and scalp are completely dry before application. Gently massage the solution into the scalp with fingertips for even distribution and absorption, avoiding the use of nails. Allow the solution to dry completely for 2-4 hours before applying other styling products. Consistent use for at least 3-6 months is often recommended to observe significant results.
Side Effects
Folifast Hair Tincture is generally well-tolerated. However, some individuals may rarely experience local side effects such as burning, redness, irritation, stinging, or peeling at the application site. If any unexpected or severe reactions occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
Precautions
- External Use Only: This medicine is strictly for external application. Avoid contact with eyes and other mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Skin Conditions: Do not apply the tincture to inflamed, infected, irritated, painful, dry, sunburned skin, or open wounds, as it may worsen the condition.
- Medical Consultation: Consult a healthcare provider before using this product, especially if you have existing medical conditions or are taking other topical medications, to prevent potential interactions or increased absorption.
- Children and Pregnancy: Folifast Hair Tincture is not recommended for use in children below 18 years of age due to a lack of safety and efficacy studies. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
- Patch Test: It is advisable to perform a patch test before the initial full application to check for any allergic reactions.
