GlossaryGentamicin

antibiotic treating bacterial infections by inhibiting protein synthesis

Gentamicin, also known as Garamycin, is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, leading to their death. This medication is often administered intravenously or intramuscularly and is commonly used in hospital settings for severe infections.

Moringa extract and oil are suggested to help with hair loss, with some users combining it with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride. Moringa is claimed to improve hair growth and health, but evidence is mostly anecdotal.
