GlossaryMicroparticles

tiny particles ranging from 0.1 to 100 micrometers

Microparticles are tiny solid or liquid particles that range in size from 0.1 to 100 micrometers. They can be naturally occurring or synthetically produced and are often used in medical and cosmetic applications, such as drug delivery systems and skincare products, due to their ability to encapsulate active ingredients and release them in a controlled manner.

community Would Fluridil and Alfatradiol work effectively in conjunction with each other?

in Treatment 8 upvotes 4 years ago

Whether using both Fluridil and Alfatradiol together could be more effective than either one alone as a hair loss treatment, given their different mechanisms of action.
