I am suffering from hair loss problem. Now I am taking H hit Forte tablet. Does it has any side effect. It contains Biotin 10mg L-cysteine (as HCL) 10mg Zinc oxide ( Elemental zinc) 25mg Manganese sulphate monohydrate 5mg Cupric oxide 2mg Sodium selenite unhydrous 40mcg As it contains minerals I doubt to have kidney stone problems ## Hello, Vishant! How are you? Some of these supplements can cause nausea and diarrhea, due to their potency, as reported by the U.S. FDA. However, whether or not it helps your hair loss depends on whether or not it has been caused by a deficiency in one of the vital nutrients that it contains. If it is due to natural aging, or genetics, it will not help. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a tube of Borofax Skin Protection from the makers or neosporin. It prevents and treats diaper rash. Do you know where I can buy a new tube of this? ## The tube says active ingredients are zinc oxide 15% and white petrolatum 68%. Also contains: lanolin, mineral oil and fragrance. Dist: Warner Wellcome Consumer Health Products, Morris Plains, NJ 07950 USA. ## From what I can find, it is no longer manufactured. These are common ingredients for this type of product, though, so you should be able to find them in other over the counter items. Have you tried asking a pharmacist what product is comparable? Where are you located? ## You made some excellent points in that last post on the subject. ## Is Borofax still available for purchase?

Where can I buy it ## Hi Michelle, The original Borofax ointment (boric acid 5% + lanolin) was actually discontinued in 1993 due to some toxic effects attributed to boric acid. Apparently though, the manufacturer of Borofax reformulated the product and began selling it again. The active ingredients in the new formulation are Zinc Oxide 15% and white petrolatum 68.6%. The newer product does not contain boric acid. The new formulation of Borofax (with Zinc oxide) is available, but may not be routinely stocked by pharmacies on shelves. So a pharmacist may have to special order it for you. Most popular diaper rash products available today contain the similar ingredients. Common examples include: Desitin cream with 40% Zinc oxide, lanolin, and white petrolatum. Balmex cream and A+D cream als...

hi i was wondering under what name keraglo forte tablets run in the US? and where I can buy them? ## Keraglo Forte is actually a nutritional supplement, it contains: Biotin USP 10 mg N-acetyl cysteine USP 50mg Calcium panthothenate 100mg Sodium selenite USP equivalent to Elemental selenium 60mcg Elemental copper 3mg and Zinc oxide 22.5 mg.

I am trying to find out where I can buy Comfortine Ointment. It is a Pink thick cream sold in a jar or tube. It use to use it for diaper rashes or sores and it was very good. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. ## Do you remember when was the last time you came across this product? Have not had any luck finding it either. It's too bad when good products are discontinued or suddenly disappear. From what I have gathered this ointment contains Zinc Oxide + Vitamin A + Vitamin D (from Cod Liver Oil) as the effective ingredients. There are other topical Zinc based ointments out there, but none with that exact formulation. Another possibility would be to see if a pharmacist could create a custom compound based on those ingredients. Has anybody else had any luck finding this or a...
