General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Protar-K contains Ketoconazole 2 % w/v and coal tar 4 % w/v as ingredients.
Ketoconazole is a synthetic anti-fungal medication used to prevent and treat skin and fungal infections.
Coal tar is a keratolytic agent and is used for relieving itching, scaling, dryness and flaking of the skin caused due to dandruff, psoriasis and seborrhea.
You can wait for the response to this therapy for your hair fall to stop as it could be caused due to fungal infection. If the hair fall continues, then you can apply onion juice as has been recommended for regrowth of the hair.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
