What LACOVIN is and what it is used for
Lacovin is a solution for use on the skin of the scalp that stimulates hair growth in individuals with androgenic alopecia (most common type of baldness) when applied topically.
This medicine is indicated for the treatment of moderate hair loss of androgenic origin in adults.
You should see a doctor or pharmacist if it gets worse or does not improve after 30 days.
