I've been having some hair loss issues even after taking Adgain capsules about 6 months ago, which my doctor recommended. Is it okay if I start taking them again, or is there something else I should try first? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice.
Adgain capsule is a combination of Biotin, Amino Acids, Minerals, and Vitamins, which is commonly used to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. It is safe to take Adgain capsule again for hair loss. The usual dosage is 1 capsule daily after meals for at least 3-6 months for best results.
