androgenetic alopecia shengfa tincture dangui kushen pills

TLDR Combining shengfa tincture and dangui kushen pills effectively treats hair loss with fewer side effects.

The study observed the effects of combining shengfa tincture and dangui kushen pills on androgenetic alopecia in 125 patients. Participants were divided into two groups: one using only shengfa tincture (62 patients) and the other using both treatments (63 patients). After 12 months, the combination group showed higher efficacy and patient satisfaction compared to the tincture-only group, with a lower incidence of adverse effects. This suggested that the combination therapy was an effective and safe treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
