AT-Biotin 5000 mcg Tablet: Each tablet contains Biotin USP 5000 microgram.
Description:
Biotin is an essential vitamin that is also known as vitamin H. It is involved in vital physiological functions like fatty acid synthesis,
amino acid catabolism, and gluconeogenesis. It acts as a cofactor in the enzymatic carboxylation of pyruvate and acetyl-CoA. Biotin influences the growth and differentiation of epidermal cells and is therefore important for the formation and renewal of the skin, hair, and nails. It functions as a coenzyme for mitochondrial carboxylases in hair roots and improves the keratin structure. Biotin deficiency may result in hair loss and a variety of systemic symptoms such as dermatitis, and aciduria. Biotin is one of the most prescribed vitamin for any kind of hair loss.

Drug Interactions:
There are indications that anticonvulsant drugs lower the plasma level of biotin. Antibiotic use may decrease the biotin
contribution to the body made by the microflora of the large intestine. Excessive consumption of raw egg whites interferes
with biotin absorption.
