Suggested Ecophane Instead Of Minoxidile. Is It A Good Substitution?
hello, I am a woman 25 years old, my doctor suggested me Ecophane medicine instead of Minoxidile which I used for 9 months before. He also suggested me to consume this tablet 2 times a day. I eat Zinc medicine too. Is this a good substitution for my previous medicines? I am really worry about split growth of my hairs.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Ecophane medicine is a food supplement only, which provides amino acids, vitamins etc.
Thus it is not a substitute to minoxidil.
Minoxidil is used to treat male pattern baldness.
If you are not taking nutritious balanced diet, ecophane can improve quality of your hairs.
Thanks for your trust in Healthcaremagic and posting your query.
Hope you found my response to your query informative and helpful.
