Pantogar® capsules

How to use Pantogar®­

Take one Pantogar® capsule three times per day for 3-6 months. Pantogar® capsules should be swallowed whole with a little liquid.

The key to success is patience

The treatment period is related to the growth cycle: hair growth and hair loss are a slow process and it can take some weeks for a telogen hair to actually fall out. This means that even after the start of treatment, hairs which were already in “shedding mode” before the start of treatment may fall out.

During treatment with Pantogar® capsules, the metabolism of the hair root is activated directly and the formation of new cells is stimulated. Hair loss is halted and the hair returns to the growth phase, restoring the natural balance. However, as hair only grows around one centimeter per month, it takes a few months for the success of the treatment to become visible.

Remember that everybody is unique, so Pantogar® capsules take effect at a different speed – depending on the phase of life most of your hair is currently in and how quickly it reacts to the supply of active substances.

Why do I have to use the products for at least three months?

The hair root usually takes three months until it can fully resume its activity and produce new hair cells. Unfortunately, many users become impatient and abandon the therapy after only a few weeks.

In the directions for use included with each medicine, you will find information about the dosage. Your doctor or pharmacist may also give you a recommendation that is different to the directions for use for your particular case. The term “compliance” is used to describe taking your medication (e.g. Pantogar®) according to the recommended guidelines.

The dosage recommendation and treatment duration are determined by clinical studies. This knowledge is translated into the dosage recommendations, which you will find in the directions for use of a medication.

Tolerability

Pantogar® is generally well tolerated and supplies the hair with the nutrients that it needs to form new hair cells. And it does this in the exact dosage and combination that optimally activates hair growth.

The recommended dosage of Pantogar® is 3 times a day over a period of 3 to 6 months.

You can get Pantogar® over the counter at the pharmacy. Read the package insert carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist.
