The ingredients are: paracetamol, codeine phosphate, doxylamine succinate and caffeine. Unfortunately, the original Syndol have been available for ages due to

Hair loss products
My hair has started thinning again (was better for a while) and wondered if anyone has any ideas on best product to use. I am using a shampoo which is for hair loss and also a scalp stimulator which is a 3 month treatment. I have read some reviews for ´Viviscal Women's Max Strength´ hair loss treatment

Hair loss
I have really bad hair loss , scarring on my head and dermatologist has advised to see plastic surgeon which I did who has agreed to pull my scalp together and stitch it to cover scarring , seems drastic but in a strange way I'm scared but can't wait to get rid of these severe bald patches I've had for

Supplements question
Does anyone taking levothyroxine also take Thyroid Support from Cytoplan Ltd? It's been recommended by my (private) nutritionist, but it's got kelp in it - just wondered if anyone has had any issues with it.

Coming off steroids
I was on oral steroids for 18 months for
alopecia
. I was tapered off them but since stopping my back pain has increased to disabling proportions. I have severe osteoarthritis in my lumber spine.
