A member asked:

What are the side effects of capixyl grocapix gel if any.doctor prescribed me for hair loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Save your money: The side effect is loss of money with no benefit in return. See a better dr if you really have a hair problem> meanwhile you can get minoxidil. It is not wonderful but makes a difference for some people who apply it every day for many months to years. The 2% is cheaper ; nearly as effective as the 5%.
