Pantogar: a miracle against hair loss

“My heart medicine is Pantogar. I tried it a while ago and I can’t live without it. The hair grows faster and stronger, the nail doesn’t break, even the skin seems to improve” – this is how many women have described the seemingly incredible power of Pantogar. Ask your questions about the drug, its uses and the risks involved in the treatment.

What is Pantogar and what is it for?

According to the drug leaflet, Pantogar is a combination of keratin, cystine and other combinations of substances, indicated for “diffuse hair loss (hair loss for unknown reasons). Degenerative changes in the hair structure (weakened, thin, non-manleable, brittle, lifeless, dull and colorless hair); hair damaged by sunlight and UV radiation; prevention of the appearance of gray hairs. Disorders in nail growth (brittle, cracked and poorly malleable nails)”.

Dermatologist Helena Zantut says that “Pantogar is a pool of vitamins and amino acids that help in the formation of hair and fur”. In other words, this medication makes up for the lack of several vitamins in the body and, with that, good results can be obtained in the treatment of hair loss and weakening.

Does Pantogar really work?

According to data provided on the drug’s website, some surveys carried out with users of Pantogar show that about 70% of these women say that the results of the treatment have exceeded their expectations.

Helena is more thoughtful when giving her opinion about the product: “it is very good, but the woman has to be in need of these vitamins and, first of all, to discover the cause of hair loss”.

For this, the best tip is always to look for a dermatologist you trust, so that he can specifically assess your clinical condition and prescribe the best treatment. “It is not recommended to take vitamins without needing them, because this can cause organic problems”, explains the specialist.

What care is needed to ensure the best results?

When consulting a dermatologist, you should provide him with all the relevant information regarding your problem. If hair loss, hair loss or weakening of the hair or nails is causing you sleep, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the cause of the symptoms and, only then, determine the appropriate medication.

For Helena, the foods consumed on a daily basis also have a great influence on the development of this type of health problem. Modifying the diet can, in some cases, guarantee better results than drug treatment. “The best thing is good nutrition”, assures the dermatologist.

You also need to determine if your strands are falling out or just breaking, according to the product’s website. Pantogar is able to stop the fall, increases the metabolic activity of the root, activates cell division and, with that, stimulates the healthy growth of wires. However, if your problem is breakage, it might not be the best solution.

How much does the treatment cost?

Pantogar is not a cheap drug – and this is one of the main complaints found about the product. In a survey carried out in several pharmacies, the price of a box with 90 pills varies between R$140.57 and R$153.68. A box of 30 pills costs almost a third of that amount, but as the recommended treatment is usually two to three capsules a day, it’s not worth investing in the smaller box.

An alternative is to have the medication manipulated. Some reports realize that the effects are similar and, in certain cases, even more expressive. Just look for a compounding pharmacy to order the product – the value varies greatly from one establishment to another.

Attention: do not take medication without a prescription and medical advice.
