Understanding Hair Loss and Choosing the Right Hair-Care Support

Hair loss is common and can have many causes, including androgenetic alopecia, seasonal shedding, nutritional factors, hormonal changes, illness, medication and scalp conditions. Because the correct approach depends on the cause, persistent or sudden hair loss should be assessed by a dermatologist.

Minoxidil/Evdermia for androgenetic alopecia

Minoxidil/Evdermia is a 5% topical medicine indicated for androgenetic alopecia. It should be used exactly as described in the package leaflet. Results require consistent use and vary between individuals. Anyone who is uncertain whether the medicine is suitable should speak with a pharmacist or doctor.

Supportive cosmetic hair care

Cosmetic products can support the condition and appearance of the hair and scalp. Palmogen Hair Lotion is designed to moisturise and condition the hair and scalp and help protect against breakage. Sandal Shampoo is formulated for oily hair and scalp, while Ceramis Shampoo provides cleansing and conditioning care for dry, damaged or normal hair.

Food supplements

Food supplements are not medicines and should not be presented as treatments for hair loss. They should be used according to the label and should not replace a varied, balanced diet. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking medication or managing a medical condition should seek professional advice before using a supplement where the label recommends this.

When to seek advice

Consult a dermatologist if hair loss is sudden, patchy, associated with scalp symptoms or continues for an extended period. An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards choosing appropriate treatment and supportive care.

Evdermia offers products across medicines, cosmetics and food supplements. Each product should be selected and used according to its category, approved information and individual needs.
